Watching The Librarians With Librarians During Banned Books Week
On Tuesday, Oct. 6, in the middle of Banned Books Week, three intrepid high school seniors—Laird Bowser, Alec Thomsen, and Devin Protti—spearheaded a sold-out benefit screening of the 2025 documentary The Librarians in Santa Cruz, California. In collaboration with Bookshop Santa Cruz, the Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz, and Santa Cruz Public Libraries, their efforts raised $5,248 for the purchasing of banned and challenged books for Santa Cruz City school libraries.
