Movie theaters and libraries appeal to families with low-cost or free films

Link to January 19 Appleton Post-Crescent article.

Excerpt: Libraries in Neenah and Appleton are showing free weekly movies during the winter months. The Neenah Public Library, which also throws in free popcorn, offers movies on Tuesdays while the Appleton Public Library fires up its version of the big screen on Saturday afternoons.

"Libraries have always shown films; it's just the format with DVDs — and we have the nice projector — the setup is perfect for doing this," said Gretchen Raab, assistant director of the Neenah Public Library. "It gives families a reason to come to the library beyond just checking out books. And, of course, it's free. Not everybody can afford movies and popcorn."
