Board sets Feb. 8 "YA rom-com" movie night aimed at teens
Summary
Trustees approved a movie night for Feb. 8, 2024, 6:30—98:30 PM with a YA/rom-com theme to attract teen audiences; members discussed runtime, ratings (PG/PG-13) and promotion strategies.
The Farmers Branch Library Board on Oct. 26 approved plans for a February movie night designed to engage teens, setting Feb. 8, 2024, 6:30—98:30 PM as the event time and selecting a YA/"You rom-com" theme.
Trustees discussed program length (targeting a 90-minute film) and the need to choose a PG or suitable PG-13 title appropriate for the intended audience. They considered promotion options such as letting followers vote on Facebook among a shortlist of titles and using the event to draw young patrons into other library programs.
The board asked staff to propose specific movie options and confirm licensing/streaming availability at the next meeting. The Oct. 26 vote approved the date, time and theme by voice vote; trustees will finalize the film selection at the Nov. 9 meeting.
