Movie License Available for Vermont School Libraries

The Department of Libraries has successfully negotiated a new contract with Movie Licensing USA for Vermont school libraries.  This license will permit the FREE public performance of movies (from selected Hollywood studios) in the school.  This new contract covers the period of October 1, 2009 - September 30, 2010.

Here are some details:

  1. The Department of Libraries offers this product only if at least fifty schools apply for the license.  The final postmark date is Friday, September 25, 2009.

  2. This license is a discounted product, which represents one half the regular cost.

  3. To use this license at the school, you must have a NEW signed agreement on file at the Department of Libraries.

  4. Print out and complete the form.  Mail the form to the Department of Libraries or Fax it to (802) 828-2199.  Do not include payment.

  5. The Department will announce whether the fifty required libraries have applied.  If there are fifty, then everyone who has applied will be billed.

  6. The license covers only those Hollywood studios listed on the Agreement form.  For motion pictures by studios not covered by this license, contact the studio directly to arrange a public performance.  Use the Movie Licensing USA website http://www.movielic.com to verify that movies are covered by the license, to generate free posters with the original movie art, and to get program ideas.

  7. Rules about showing and advertising movies in your libraries are included in the Agreement Form.

  8. Once you have paid for the license, we will send you the license certificate for your library.
