Summer is coming!

Summer is coming! That means summer hours, the summer reading program, and the ever popular OUTDOOR movie nights! (They have not yet been scheduled, we will let you know when. I can tell you, though, that we will be showing the new Oz movie and an older favorite about boys who dig holes...) Summer also means there are less new releases to choose from for the Friday Movie nights, so feel free to make suggestions. This July we are pleased to present our very first SING-ALONG movie night on July 12th! Bring your Munchkins and beware of falling houses! Woohoo!

Movie lineup change

Just a heads-up to let you know we have shuffled some of our movie showing dates around! With so many spooky, Halloweeny movies being released on video, we wanted to break them up a little so they weren't all being shown one after the other.

December Splurge!

Sorry there have been no Friday Night movies posted! For the last few months we've had a budget freeze, and so I was unsure what movies we would have available, and when. But the freeze is over, and we're having fun spending the rest of our year's budget! When you come in, you may find plenty of new movies and books available! Friday Night movies will start up again after the holidays, on January 11th. See you then!

Exciting lineup!

We have quite a few exciting movies lined up for Friday nights until the end of the year! Next time you are in the library, check the Coming Up poster near the DVD section. Included is our annual Anime Halloween event, with the usual delicious curry, entertaining anime, and all-around fun. Saturday, October 27!

What's That Movie?

Some of you who've been in the library might have noticed a difference on the movie posters: the movie titles!

I'm not sure if it was a change or a clarification, but on reading Movie Licensing USA's info recently, I found out that we are allowed to advertise the movie titles on flyers and posters inside the library!

But not publicly on TV, or radio, or here on the internet. So, I'm afraid the blog will still leave you guessing!

Our new anime license!

It seems I posted at just the wrong time last May, when I mentioned that anime companies allow free screenings to clubs and libraries. Funimation, apparently since January, no longer allows free screenings. However, they do sell a licensing permit through Movie Licensing USA, the same company we get our movie screening license from. It does cost extra, but we now also have an Anime license, courtesy of the Friends of the Library, which allows us to show any Funimation products whenever we like, without requesting prior permission.

It seems as likely as not that other anime companies may follow suit, which will make our license even more necessary. But, for the sake of small libraries and groups who can't afford the license, I hope they carry on with the free permissions. (On the other hand, it would save me from the effort of sending out all those requests before each anime event.)

Outdoor movies coming up!

As every summer, we will have two outdoor movies in August!

The movies begin as soon as it is dark enough to see the screen (usually around 8-8:30.)

You may want to bring the following items to our outdoor movies:

A chair and/or blanket to sit on
Bug spray
A jacket in case of cold weather
An umbrella in case of light rain

In case of heavy rain, we will move indoors.

Hope to see you there, and have an awesome summer!
