A panel discussion moderated by KPBS Arts Reporter Julia Dixon Evans will follow the film’s presentation along with audience Q&A. Julia will be joined by San Diego County Library Director Migell Acosta, Oceanside Public Library Principal Youth Librarian Amy Kleman and additional guests. This event is organized by KPBS in collaboration with the San Diego Central Library and One Book, One San Diego.
