THE LIBRARIANS | guest: Mary Ann Laker | air date 3/7/26 | FLICK FIX | WQRT
Who better to confront an unsettling documentary about book banning than Mary Ann Laker, an IPS high school librarian for 40 years (and Anne’s mom). THE LIBRARIANS (2025, dir. Kim A. Snyder) probes the political and personal stakes as intellectual freedom is threatened across the country, and prompts Mary Ann’s real-life stories about how books can—and do—change students’ lives.
Anne gets excited as the voice of “YOU'VE never SEEN??” performs the phrase in real time … and bugs Anne about never having seen MAJOR LEAGUE (1989, dir. David S. Ward), an all-American goofy-ragtag-misfit-slapsticky-underdog-triumph tale with a touch of vulnerability (and Wesley Snipes in his prime).
