The Fayetteville Public Library will host a free screening of the documentary Disfarmer: A Portrait of America at 6:30 p.m. Thursday.

The film focuses on eccentric Heber Springs photographer Mike Disfarmer and his portraits representing life in rural America during World War I, the Great Depression and World War II. A selection of Disfarmer’s black-and-white photos will be on display in the library’s Reading Room throughout the month of May.

The event is open to the public. More information is available by calling (479) 856-7000 or online at faylib.org.
