Access Video On Demand provides countless ideas for community programming, including titles that step back onto the surface of the moon with the crew of Apollo 11, explore the history of America’s national parks, revisit one of the Civil War’s most costly battles, and celebrate America’s birthday and the birthday of its 43rd president. Subscribers can also explore the complete calendar (accessible via the menu in the header) for the year’s milestones, holidays, and events—a great source for programming ideas throughout the year.
