The Library runs various film festivals throughout the year, appealing to every taste and interest. All movies are shown free of charge in the meeting rooms, and everyone is welcome. As some films deal with adult thematic content, parents are urged to exercise judgment as necessary. The films series are sponsored by the Friends of The Library.

Fine Film Festival
With this autumn series, The Library offers cinemaphiles the opportunity to catch up with independent features, docudramas, documentaries, and topical films that were not widely distributed. If you missed them during their all-too-brief runs at inconveniently located art houses, here is your chance.
Popular Movies
Blockbusters, studio gems, and new-release DVDs are generally shown during the winter months. The number of films in this series may vary from year to year.
