Free films are shown on the first Thursday of each month at 4 p.m. at the Coalville and Kamas libraries, and the first Saturday of each month at 3 p.m. at the Park City and Kimball Junction libraries. Admission is free.

The Reel Community Series presents films monthly in partnership with local non-profit organizations, with films presented that reflect the mission of the partners, along with the interests of the community. The focus of the series is to create a platform for community conversation.
