Film is an inevitable factor in cultural, psychological and social life of a person. From the brothers Lumiere to contemporary cinematic achievements, film has become an integral part of everyday life. Public libraries recognized this and saw a chance to build collections of films, even to establish film departments and finally, film programs. Film programs are intended for all groups of library patrons.The aim of this research is to examine the availability and diversity of film programs in selected Croatian public libraries. The purpose of the research is to indicate the importance of developing and running film programs, as well as to present the means of financing and maintaining film programs in Croatian libraries in the future. The method used in this research was a qualitative questionnaire in which six Croatian public libraries participated. This research offers the basis for a more systematic and effective organization of film programs in Croatian public libraries. In addition, it proposes the development of new film programs based on the examples of good practice, as well as the maintenance of the existing ones.
