HI, Jeanette Larson from Austin Public Library sent this message. I have been in communication with Ann Church and she is sending some information for me to pass out at the upcoming summer reading workshops. Amanda Please forward to member libraries. At some of the summer reading club workshops, I mentioned Kids First!, a non-profit film organization that is working to provide quality film programming for children. They are expanding their programs to public libraries in Texas this summer. Here is the basic information. Full details will be on their website by March 1. Note that you get the dvd or video to show AND the public performance rights for the summer. At the end of the summer, some suppliers will allow you to keep the dvd or video while others will be returned to Kids First. Also, unlike the other licensing agreement for public performance (discussed in the TRC Manual), you may advertise the titles of these films. Many are produced by small independent producers who want their film to be seen. Others are Even if you don't subscribe to the summer service, check out the Kids First website (www.kidsfirst.org) for reviews of quality children's film. I can forward the attachment with titles to you (send me you email address), you can contact the organization directly (Ann Church's email is in the text below) or you can wait to view them on the website in March. As this is a pilot program, participation is limited to 100 public libraries. --Jeanette Larson, Austin Public Library Go Wild . . .
