Its occupant\, Barbara Van Laar\, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared.

It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet. \nJoin us in conversation with Liz as we embark on a tale of thrilling twists and disturbing disappearances.

SUMMARY:The Librarians Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Librarians across the U.S. examine how book review policies are shaping their communities. \nFrom Oscar-nominated Director and Producer Kim A. Snyder (“Death By Numbers\,” “Newtown\,” “Us Kids”) and Executive Producer Sarah Jessica Parker\, “The Librarians” takes viewers from Texas to Florida and beyond\, where local libraries have become unexpected battlegrounds in a national struggle over parental control\, intellectual freedom\, and democracy itself.  Sparked by the controversial “Krause List” in Texas\, which targets 850 books centered on race and LGBTQIA+ stories\, the film takes a deep investigative dive into the escalating movement against book banning. The film captures the courage and resilience of the everyday heroes\, librarians\, as well as concerned parents and students flanking them\, who have become first responders in the fight for the freedom to read\, standing defiantly against censorship at all costs. \n“The Librarians” will debut on INDEPENDENT LENS on February 9\, 2026\, at 10 p.m. ET on PBS and the PBS app (check local listings).  \nFor more information\, visit Independent Lens.  \n Filmmakers: Kim A. Snyder (director/producer)\, Janique L. Robillard (producer)\, Maria Cuomo Cole (producer)\, and Jana Edelbaum (producer)
