An award winning commercial/PSA about how a community fought for their library. It shows how important libraries are but also how in todays information age you have take quite extreme measures to persuade people of the importance of a local library. What kind of community would burn their books? What kind of historical connotations does that give us? And what kind of literary connotations – Fahrenheit 451 et al?
