TPiB: Fizz Boom Read Movies for the Family
In an ideal world we would be teen specialists ALL the time; however, in real life that rarely happens. The most frequent occurrence is that teen and youth services are put together, and we are programming for all ages, especially in summer. Never fear, however, for we have pulled together a list of G/PG rated movies that tie in with the Fizz/Boom/Read (science) Collaborative Summer Reading Program for you to use! Print out this list and use these as a start for a summer movie feature, or as a fail-safe in case a presenter or a staff member falls sick and you need a last-minute fill in!
Note: Please remember to check with your particular umbrella license before showing a movie- you do not want to loose your job over a DVD.
