Last week, as part of our standard procedures, the Northbrook Public Library reached out to the cardholder who reserved a meeting room for a film screening on Wednesday, September 18. This follow-up was conducted to verify compliance with the Library's established reservation requirements.

A Northbrook resident and Library cardholder has reserved a room at Northbrook Public Library on Wednesday, September 18 for a ticketed film screening to be hosted by The Chicagoland Jewish Labor Bund and JVP (Jewish Voice for Peace) Chicago. This is not a Northbrook Public Library-sponsored or -facilitated event.

We have received many emails and calls about this event. We respect and acknowledge that there are members of our community who may disagree with the views of the organizations hosting this screening and/or the views presented in the film.
