Abstract
-
This book explores how libraries use film and digital media to build media-literacy skills and community engagement. It shows how screening films, producing videos, and discussing media help people critically interpret moving images and understand their cultural and social impact. The book identifies five core practices—viewing, creating, learning, collecting, and connecting—demonstrating how library programs and services foster lifelong learning, collaboration, and civic participation through shared media experiences. Examples from over 170 libraries illustrate how film and media literacy education supports critical analysis, creativity, and community dialogue across different age groups and backgrounds.
