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

MPLC (Motion Picture Licensing Corporation) (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).
