AVERY LEA ROGERS, Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR); New documentary reveals history of public libraries, features Wisconsin librarians and patrons
"What began a decade ago as a mission to learn about the history of public libraries around the country is now a documentary airing on PBS.
Dawn Logsdon is the director of “Free for All: The Public Library.” A lifelong public library patron, she told WPR’s “Wisconsin Today” that she grew tired of hearing people question the value of public libraries in the internet age.
“You can only think that way if you haven’t been in a library in about 30 or 40 years,” Logsdon said. “They’re not just a place to store books. They’re a place for people to come together and read, learn, get information, all kinds of things.”...
The documentary is now available to stream on the PBS website or app."
