Library Film Screenings

Did you know? Among the exciting array of in-person and virtual programming offered by the Mercer County Library System (MCLS) are library film screenings!

Ranging from action and drama to comedy and horror, library film screenings are an excellent opportunity to gather with friends, family and other film-lovers to experience a cinematic story together from the comfort of your local library.

Sponsored by each branch’s respective Friends of the Library group, library film screenings are a fun, low-key program where patrons can kick back and relax to enjoy both newer and older films – sometimes long after a film’s theatrical run is over.
