Library Association (ALA) Public Programs Office in partnership with WETA Productions in Washington, D.C.</span><br>
</div>
<br>
Public libraries are invited to apply to receive a programming kit for “The Vietnam War,” a 10-part documentary film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick that will air on PBS stations beginning Sept. 17.</span><br>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif, serif, EmojiFont;"></p>
<div><br>
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.<br>
<br>
Recipients will also receive promotional materials, online resources developed to support local programs, opportunities for partnership with local PBS station(s), and more.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
