The five librarians who are the subjects of the Sarah Jessica Parker executive-produced documentary, The Librarians, appeared on the press line for the film's premiere on Friday, January 24. 

The doc follows the librarian activists who have joined forces to defend intellectual freedom in a time where books are being banned at an alarming rate. 

We talked to Louisiana-based librarian, educator, and author, Amanda Jones — who has received death threats for speaking out against banned books — and Carolyn Foote, Texas-based educator and librarian. The librarians shared their experiences in being the subject of a documentary and why they continue to fight the good fight for readers and authors.
