The Hollywood Librarian: A Look at Librarians in Film

CASLIS Ottawa and the Ottawa Public Library are proud to present this feature-length documentary as part of the film's North American release, when it will be screened at libraries across Canada and the U.S.A.

From the movie's website:

It is the first movie ever on the subject of the real lives and actual work of U.S. librarians. Using the "hook" of Hollywood motion picture clips, it introduces the audience to all kinds of librarians: school and children's librarians, special librarians (medical and corporate), academic librarians, library educators and graduate students, a cataloger, and public librarians.

Afterwards, everyone is welcome at the Black Bear Pub. Come enjoy some appetizers and mingle with your colleagues! The mixer is open to anyone who can make it, so come along even if you can't make the tour. It's true what they say - the more the merrier!

Remember, you are welcome to attend just the tour, just the mixer, or both but please note that due to space limitations, registration for the tour is limited to 20 people.
