THE STATE FILM PROGRAM
from such a position leads eventually to the regional film library, whatever variation in pattern occurs along the way, again speaking for the majority. Some degree of centralizing of the library function is compelled by monetary reason alone.
Financial Support of State Film Libraries
Four principal sources of funds have been tapped for the purpose of establishing film service to schools on the state level. In this respect, the state film libraries are not different to any degree from local, county, regional, and institutional centers for distribution.
Public funds have been drawn on to furnish two of these sources. In one notable case (Virginia) the State Assembly appropriated the basic sum directly for the purpose of establishing a state-wide film program. In other cases, state appropriations made available to higher institutions and to state departments of public instruction have been used at least for initial financing purposes.
Aside from direct appropriations, the principal channel of public funds into film libraries has been subscriptions or payment by schools and institutions using the film service.
The bases for such payments vary almost as widely as the number of cases where they exist. In at least one instance, service from a state film library has been supplied to any school which would purchase and deposit a film therein; in others, the amount of payment is determined by the size of the school requesting films on loan; and in still others, charges are assessed on the basis of the number of films loaned.
A quite different type of financial backing is provided in another case (Nebraska) where a collaborative effort toward a state-wide film program is under way. Funds for this movement were supplied initially in part by the State, and in part through the assistance of a philanthropic foundation and the cooperation of film producers.
Unique in the financial respect is the state film library
