<div><div dir="auto">I’ve seen a lot on forums online - apparently the Bob Ross Foundation is specifically going after libraries and others trying to do this and circumvent their $800 fee. We were thinking of just using a YouTube personality that teaches painting the same way, but obviously they are not Bob Ross. I found a few different ones to choose from on YouTube.</div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Also, Netflix doesn’t offer business or non-profit accounts, but you can use your own to stream their movies/documentaries to patrons. Technically there is an email address you can contact to ask permission and explain why that movie and to whom. I have not seen a library denied yet, and they were showing all kinds of movies, not just education ones. If you search the teen groups on FB for “Netflix” one of them has the email in her post or the comments. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Colleen </div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Mar 4, 2019 at 7:58 PM Becky Farwick <<a href="mailto:bfarwick@newportlibraryri.org">bfarwick@newportlibraryri.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large">My TAB has requested a Bob Ross painting session as part of our SRP line up. Does anyone know if libraries can legally stream his shows and if so from where? I've hear Netflix, but I'm not sure how that would work. I have a personal account, but, to my knowledge, there is no library account. I found a number of Bob Ross programs offered at other libraries over the past few years, but one talked about purchasing rights and another used a look-alike to lead the class instead of streaming.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large">I'm happy to do the research (and share the results), but don't want to reinvent the wheel if someone else has already done it.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large">Thanks,<br clear="all"></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="m_-3575060142172948313gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><font size="4"><span style="font-family:garamond,serif">Becky Farwick<br></span></font></div><font size="4"><span style="font-family:garamond,serif">YA Librarian<br></span></font></div><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.newportlibraryri.org&d=DwMFaQ&c=tSLbvWYfvulPN3G_n48TUw&r=EJvg2ImHvBYuk6hTA3H1QNw0vEMfg_J4wersMgcqJvo&m=4HlveZ_a9wJkCYBQOrOocSIu6fEkf0jxETRcGuumN8A&s=xZABN0EVj6QG9wupOm9tOigPB6crDs1xH22KfiOaERM&e=" target="_blank"><font size="4"><span style="font-family:garamond,serif">Newport Public Library</span></font> [newportlibraryri.org]</a></div><div><font size="4"><span style="font-family:garamond,serif"><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__maps.google.com_-3Fq-3D300-2BSpring-2BStreet-2BNewport-2C-2BRI-2B02840-26entry-3Dgmail-26source-3Dg&d=DwMFaQ&c=tSLbvWYfvulPN3G_n48TUw&r=EJvg2ImHvBYuk6hTA3H1QNw0vEMfg_J4wersMgcqJvo&m=W7ysmYVKMcx3_-Ok-_foSHe_xSnM0ySjg08aDApQtqE&s=PTr5DxDOviuS7iQO-l9tusa9by1wbehoG7QNsoqWVv4&e=">300 Spring Street [maps.google.com]</a><br><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__maps.google.com_-3Fq-3D300-2BSpring-2BStreet-2BNewport-2C-2BRI-2B02840-26entry-3Dgmail-26source-3Dg&d=DwMFaQ&c=tSLbvWYfvulPN3G_n48TUw&r=EJvg2ImHvBYuk6hTA3H1QNw0vEMfg_J4wersMgcqJvo&m=W7ysmYVKMcx3_-Ok-_foSHe_xSnM0ySjg08aDApQtqE&s=PTr5DxDOviuS7iQO-l9tusa9by1wbehoG7QNsoqWVv4&e=">Newport, RI 02840 [maps.google.com]</a></span></font></div><div><font size="4"><span style="font-family:garamond,serif">401-847-8720 x206</span></font></div><div><font size="4"><span style="font-family:garamond,serif"><br></span></font></div><div><font size="4"><span style="font-family:garamond,serif">All for free.
