In the past two decades, several U.S. states have explored ways to mainstream media literacy in school curriculum. However one of the best and most accessible places to learn this necessary skill has not been the traditional classroom but rather the library. In an increasing number of school, public, and academic libraries, shared media experiences such as film screening, learning to computer animate, and video editing promote community and a sense of civic engagement. The Library Screen Scene reveals five core practices used by librarians who work with film and media: viewing, creating, learning, collecting, and connecting. With examples from more than 170 libraries throughout the United States, the book shows how film and media literacy education programs, library services, and media collections teach patrons to critically analyze moving image media, uniting generations, cultures, and communities in the process.

This book will help librarians, educators, and their students develop the tools they need to understand media as well as our media now understand us. Our democracy, identity, and autonomy now depend on our ability to read the words and images all around us, and create even more powerful ones ourselves. Literacy is no longer just a luxury for the elite, but an essential skill for human beings in a world where our screens longer simply entertain and inform but addict and entrain.
