Hollywood Librarian: Film Explores Stereotypes

Librarian stereotypes abound, and "The Hollywood Librarian," a revealing documentary by first-time Madison film director Ann Seidl, explores those stereotypes as well as the actual roles librarians play in today's society. According to the Wisconsin State Journal, 85 libraries across the U.S. and seven in Canada screened the film to coincide with Banned Books Week. Those included UW-Madison's School of Library and Information Studies and Racine Public Library.
