Just imported the delightful Ken Russell's Talking Picture "The Boy Friend" from an eBay seller in Ohio. The threading leaders are marked "Aument Film Library, Grand Rapids, Michigan."

Does anybody remember this library? Was it a "proper" film library, or perhaps, part of an ordinary book library?

I have a copy of "Feature Films on 8mm and 16mm" but there is no mention of this library. "The Boy Friend" was available for rent from Films Incorporated in Skokie, Illinois. They were the only renters mentioned for this film.

Thank you, Ed
I assume therefore that they were a "proper" film library. It would be interesting to know if any member may have used their services in the past.
I searched via Google but nothing came up.
