How public libraries shaped the country and continue to be a sanctuary for Americans everywhere.

This program will be held offsite at Ohio University Lancaster, Brasee Hall, Room 211.  Ohio University Lancaster is located at 1570 Granville Pike, Lancaster, Ohio.

Free for All: The Public Library tells the story of the quiet revolutionaries who made a simple idea happen. From the pioneering women behind the “Free Library Movement” to today's librarians who service the public despite working in a contentious age of closures and book bans, meet those who created a civic institution where everything is free and the doors are open to all.

Join the discussion: Mark Nevin, Association Professor of American History ; Becky Schaade, Director of the Fairfield County District Library; Joyce Harvey, local historian and former director of the Fairfield County District Library; Tony Howard, Director of the Pickerington Public Library; Judy Carey Nevin, Manager of Library Services at OHIO University Lancaster, moderator.

Fairfield County District Library, Ohio University Lancaster, and Pickerington Public Library are partnering on this event.  It is free and open to the public.
