Library will host film screening and panel on book banning Nov. 19
Summary
The board previewed a free Nov. 19 film screening with a post-film panel led by Rebecca Cummings; licensing fees ~ $250'$300, Park City Film will provide the venue, and panelists under consideration include a constitutional attorney and local education leaders.
The board discussed plans for a free public screening on Nov. 19, with Rebecca Cummings leading a post-film panel. Dan (S3) said the library would cover licensing fees (estimated at $250'$300) while Park City Film provides the venue, and the Friends of the Library could staff a table and help promote the event.
Members suggested possible panelists including a constitutional attorney and Heidi Matthews, the Park City School District librarian, who has relevant legislative and school-board experience. The panel could broaden the program beyond the film's immediate focus to include discussion of funding pressures for libraries and freedom of speech issues.
Staff will follow up on potential panelists, cost-sharing with partners, and whether the Friends will host a pre-screening table or program. The board identified the film screening as both a community program and an opportunity to host a substantive public conversation about censorship and library funding.
