Interactive Movie Take-Home Kits

Are you looking for a fun family activity this spooky season? Try out our interactive movie kits.

What is an interactive movie?

An interactive movie experience happens when you watch a movie together with a group and you do certain actions at certain times during the movie. You might pretend to sword fight along with Captain Jack Sparrow, or cast a spell along with Harry Potter.

What comes in a kit?

Each kit contains a script for each person with instructions explaining which actions to do during which parts of the movie. Your kit will also contain props and treats to add to your interactive experience. For October, we have five movie kits to choose from.

What movies can I choose from?

Currently, we have five movie kits to choose from:

1. Hocus Pocus (DVD, Disney+, rent on Amazon)

2. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (DVD, stream free on Peacock, rent on Amazon)

3. Labyrinth (DVD, Amazon - rent or free with Prime)

4. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (DVD, Disney+, rent on Amazon)

5. The Nightmare Before Christmas (DVD, Disney+, rent on Amazon

How do I order a kit?

To request a kit, fill out the online form at https://www.catoosapubliclibrary.com/interactive-movie or call us at 918-266-1684. Once you have ordered your kit, we may need up to 24 hours to prepare it. We will call or email you when it is ready to pick up. The library has each of these movies on DVD and they are also available via streaming services. If you need the DVD and it is currently checked out, we will place a hold for you and prepare your kit when the movie comes in.

You can pick up your kits in the library (remember your masks!) or we can set them out for curbside pickup. Please call us if you have any questions and we hope to see you at the library soon!

Elections and Voting Information - Updated 10/16/2020

The presidential election on November 3, 2020 is fast approaching. Here you will find all the information you need to get registered, find your polling place, see a sample ballot, request and submit an absentee ballot, find information on candidates and issues on the ballot, and get information about early voting.

HOW DO I REGISTER TO VOTE

Voters must register by October 9 in order to be eligible to vote in the November 3rd election. You can find more information about registering to vote at https://www.ok.gov/elections/Voter_Info/Register_to_Vote/index.html.

I CAN'T REMEMBER IF I'M REGISTERED OR I NEED TO MAKE A CHANGE

If you want to check to see if you are still registered, find out where your polling place is located, view or change your political affiliation, or change your address (as long as you have stayed within the same county), you can do that by visiting the OK Voter Portal. You will only need your name and birth date to sign. If you have moved outside the county you were previously registered in, changed your name, or want to make any other changes, see the instructions at https://www.ok.gov/elections/Voter_Info/Register_to_Vote/index.html.

I NEED TO FIND MY POLLING PLACE

To find your polling place log in to the OK Voter Portal. You will only need your name and birth date to log in. If you need help accessing the voter portal, we are happy to help at the library. Polling places will be open for in-person voting 7am-7pm on election day, November 3rd.

In order to prevent voter fraud, the state of Oklahoma requires that you provide proof of your identity when mailing in your ballot. Under normal circumstances, a notarization by a public notary is required for most voters. This year, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the state is giving voters the option to mail in a copy of either their voter registration card or a valid photo ID with their ballot instead of requiring a notarization.

WHERE CAN I FIND INFORMATION ABOUT THE CANDIDATES AND ISSUES ON THE BALLOT?

The League of Women Voters of Oklahoma provides a nonpartisan Voter Guide with information about the candidates and issues you will find on your ballot.
