“Showcasing PBS POV films has revitalized our book/film program by bringing the community into the library, doubling attendance, and highlighting the library as a place for education…A similar book/film program could take place at any [other] library whether they are large or small, for not only is the program rewarding, it is cost effective and can be fine-tuned to fit each individual library’s needs.”
