ALA's Vietnam War Programming Kit

Deadline: August 1, 2017

In partnership with WETA in Washington, D.C., the American Library Association (ALA) has developed a public library programming kit for "The Vietnam War," a film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. Fifty public libraries will be selected, through a competitive application process, to receive the kit, which will include a programming guide and a copy of the full 18-hour documentary series on DVD, with public performance rights. The kit will help libraries participate in a national conversation about one of the most consequential, divisive and controversial events in American history.

Recipients will also receive promotional materials, online resources developed to support local programs, opportunities for partnership with local PBS station(s), and more. Participating libraries will be required to host at least one program related to the film before Jan. 1, 2018, along with other promotional and reporting requirements.
