Are you concerned about what kids watch on TV? At the movies? On DVD? In videogames? You can help kids become more media savvy and better communicators, while having lots of fun, by starting your own Junior Film Critics Club at your library. Become a KIDS FIRST! Juror and add a valuable program to your library. Kids become more critical media viewers while helping parents and other caregivers make better viewing decisions for their kids. Jurors may also keep any of the films, DVDs, CDs, or videogames that they recommend. You can add these items to your library collection, donate them, give them away as prizes or keep them for yourself. Adult and kid reviews are posted on our website and in several other online and printed publications. Pass this information along! Jury training is also available to parents and other individuals interested in running a program from home or other youth organization. Want to learn more?

It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
