Brian Visser, Teen Services librarian, Iowa City Public Library, quoted, “There were things I was seeing there that I really wanted to watch. The taste of this community tends to lean in that direction, and the kind of movies they show at FilmScene are a lot of the same kinds of things that probably will end up on Kanopy eventually.”
