    As an unprecedented wave of book banning is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond, librarians under siege join forces as unlikely defenders fighting for intellectual freedom on the front lines of democracy. The Librarians, which made its world premiere at Sundance and continued on to SXSW and Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, explores the urgent moment we find ourselves in. As an unprecedented wave of book banning is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond, librarians under siege join forces as unlikely defenders fighting for intellectual freedom on the front lines of democracy, flanked by concerned community members and young readers.
    Join us for a screening of this important film, followed by a panel discussion with: Charlotte Adamis, retired public school librarian and active community organizer; Alex Geller, director of the Red Hook Public Library; Jennifer Laughran, senior agent at the Andrea Brown Literary Agency; Dinaw Mengestu, director of the Bard Written Arts Program and president of PEN America; and Dumaine Williams, vice president and dean of Bard Early Colleges. Film screening: 5:30 pm, panel discussion: 7:00 pm.

    Thursday, April 23, 2026
    12:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
    Charles P. Stevenson Jr. Library

    Join us at Stevenson Library for an open curatorial workshop using John Cage's chance procedures to select objects to be shown in a Stevenson Library exhibition from June 17 to July 31, 2026. This is a unique opportunity to see John Cage’s method of chance operations in practice and to watch an exhibition take shape in real time.
    Jeffrey Lependorf, Executive Director of the John Cage Trust, will offer a brief introduction to the exhibition and demonstrate how the chance operations calculator works. From there, we will apply chance operations to lists of items submitted by departments across the Bard network until the exhibition list is complete.
    Drop in anytime during the session. Light refreshments will be served.
