The Hollywood Librarian: UK premiere

Published by Juliet Eve | Filed under Announcements

Last night, colleagues and I attended the UK premiere of The Hollywood Librarian, a feature-length documentary looking at libraries and librarians in real life and as seen by Hollywood. The event was sponsored by CILIP, organised by the Sussex branch, and attended by the film’s writer and director, Ann Seidl. The film itself was funny, moving, uplifting and passionate - the best piece of advocacy for libraries, librarians and what we do that you could hope for. A trailer for the film is available, and the Hollywood Librarian website includes a form to complete if you are interested in screening the film (UK distribution is being co-ordinated by a member of CILIP’s Sussex branch committee).
