Netflix has engaged many people in the joys of binge-watching, but our library has developed its own way to share a similar experience for free through series of “Binge Boxes” that pre-package five movies all loosely related with a theme.
I’ll bet someone had fun coming up with these combinations: Bad jobs, “girl” in the title, historical events, staring “a Chris”, TV show remakes, “man” in the title, mostly true stories, on the sea, funny ladies, planets, books to film, and more. It makes for an easy way to get a weekend’s worth of entertainment without having to search through their vast selection of titles.
The Binge Box section was a relatively inexpensive and easy way for them to repackage existing videos into a new combination and they seemed quite popular with patrons. How can you take a lesson from the library and offer a fresh take on resources you already possess? Maybe it’s time to curate your own mix to help something old gain a new life.
