Youth Services News [EXTERNAL] Re: [Nmlibs] movie nights at the library

[Margaret Hinchee]

It's a great thing to have -in your collection - a slew of movies in your
collection that can be used for any type of movie nights!  We also have a
multitude of movies and try to use them before going out to purchase
specific ones (although our collection is kept up to date through donations
of $5.00 movies that are found in Walmart bins).  During the summer, we
host movies during the day that are "kid friendly" and that go along with
the CSRP theme (loosely).  We also show family friendly movies in the
evening that, too, loosely follow the summer reading program's theme.

Annually we purchase the SWANK MOVIE LICENSING so that we are allowed to
legally  watch the newest and most popular films.  This license costs about
$600.00 a year.  Here is the link for more information about the
SWANK MOVIE LICENSE:  https://www.swank.com/public libraries.

Hope that helps!
