Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Patrons will be able to enjoy newly released movies that they may not otherwise be able to access and/or afford, learn about a variety of topics through documentaries and educational films, and be exposed to new perspectives through film.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Feedback included praise for offering films that provoke thinking and understanding of other people, cultures, and historical times. The license exposes all ages to cinematic art- from small children attending Family Movie Night to teens, adults, and seniors.
