Grab your popcorn and settle in for a cinematically expressed narrative account of the authors' design, development, and implementation — in the library context — of engaging, expertly curated film and media content, and adjacent effective (and fun) learning activities. Perfect for public and school library leaders who wish to try out best practices themselves, to design and bring substantive, culturally responsive, and community-specific enriched materials and experiences, inclusively, to a full diversity of citizens.
