Most libraries will have both projectors and screens. Bookstores, especially independents, are unlikely to have them. Renting is very costly and so is buying the equipment -- the typical business digital projector costs $800 and the screen $150. One possible way to solve the problem is to have your local writers' group pitch in to buy the equipment. Ten writers, $100 each, makes $1,000, or more than enough.
