[Publib] Showing R rated movies

[Steve Standefer]

Victoria,

 

Since the high school seems to be driving this, why not get them to send
classes on a field trip to the library to see the movie, and they take care
of the permission slips.  Then you could simply ID people off the street to
follow the R-rating (17 and up), and you wouldn't have to worry about the
permission slips.

 

Does that sound clear as mud?

Hello all,

 

We would like to do an Oscar movie film fest at our library but are
wondering how to handle the R-rated aspect and kids.  We expect a lot of
kids under 18 especially since the media arts department at our high school
has asked us to host the movies and so we would have a number of 16 and 17
year olds.  We are beginning the showings at 7:30pm on a Friday night.

 

I would really hate to do permission slips but think we should probably have
some guidelines in case a group of 10 year olds show up to see Milk.
Suggestions?

 

Thanks!
