**2023 Swank Outdoor Movie Exception**
The outdoor exception will continue through 12/31/2023. Libraries can show select movies outdoors, on library property, for no cost. Here is the link to the outdoor exception information: https://www.swank.com/public-libraries/outdoor/.
Libraries can request any title that is covered by their license for the outdoor showing exception, so that would be anything not labeled single event license required on the website. Of the titles covered by their license, only a small handful are not available for outdoor showings (generally titles that have a sequel coming out).
