Kerava main library - Testimonial

In our regular Kirjastokino screenings, we mostly have a regular audience, though we occasionally see some “new faces” as well. The audience consists mainly of middle-aged and older individuals. The feedback has been very positive. People appreciate the movie selections and the fact that these screenings are organized at all. They are considered an important part of the library’s event offerings.

I believe that interest in movies, in diverse viewing experiences, and consequently in borrowing movies, has increased. Movies are an essential part of culture and help in understanding the surrounding world. The screenings are communal events where it is easy to discuss the questions and emotions that movies evoke.

Through Elokuvalisenssi, there is access to a vast number of movies, and especially for regular screenings, the licensing options provide a convenient and easy way to bring movies to library screenings.
