Chicago Public Library launched a new citywide program titled Community Cinema. There are 50 library branches participating in this yearlong pilot. This was made possible through the Chicago Public Foundation and with Swank Movie Licensing, which is the largest film licenser and carries all the latest movie releases. This program is an initiative led by CPL’s Adult Services department but offers an opportunity for inter-generational programming. The Community Cinema showings can be found on the CPL website at chipublib.org/CommunityCinema. All CPL branches will show at least four films each month, half of which are targeted at adult audiences while the other half are open to all ages. The participating branches are spread throughout the city, but many are on the West and South sides of Chicago. Each branch gets to choose their own films to reflect the needs and desires of their specific communities.
