Hi Pamela

To my knowledge there are two distributors in the USA that sell licenses for
non-theatrical showing of movies. It is a fairly easy process and moft often
you can buy a site license allowing you to show the movie as many times as
you wish in as many location inside your building. Read the info below.

Cheers

(www.mplc.com)

The Motion Picture Licensing Corporation (MPLC) created the Umbrella License
in response to the growing demand for public video programming. An MPLC
license eliminates the nuisance of contacting studios and distributors to
request clearance for their titles. With an Umbrella License public
libraries have a low-cost alternative to programming on a title-by-title
basis while receiving unlimited use for one low annual fee.

For locations that have not yet taken advantage of public performance
licensing, the MPLC Umbrella License is a versatile and cost-effective
introduction to video programming. For libraries well-versed in public
performance rights, the MPLC Umbrella License is an affordable and diverse
supplement.

The Motion Picture Licensing Corporation provides exclusive representation
for Sony Pictures Classics ("Capote"), and Twentieth Century Fox ("The Sound
of Music" and "The King and I"), in addition to specialty children’s
producers, including Scholastic Entertainment ("The Magic School Bus"),
award-winning documentaries from Think Films ("Favela Rising" and "Born Into
Brothels"), and vintage television programming from Classic Media ("Little
Golden Books" series).
