I think you’re on track with the impetus coming from the patrons. I worked in the AV department of a large library in Indiana and we did this many times- patrons tended to leave after the movie. Only a few would stay around for the discussion. It was important to be prepared with questions and not to take a break between movie and discussion group. I lost more people that way. I’m sure there’s a way to do this well. My experience has been spotty at best.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Good luck!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Kay<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> michlib-l-bounces@mcls.org [mailto:michlib-l-bounces@mcls.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Nancy Folaron<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, January 12, 2015 11:40 AM<br><b>To:</b> michlib-l@mail.mcls.org<br><b>Subject:</b> [Michlib-l] Movie discussion group<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>We have recently purchased a license for showing movies, and have some patrons interested in starting a movie discussion group.
