Bryan,
That's a great idea, I'm planning to put the projector in a separate room eventually, but I find that since I'm both the projectionist and the audience, it's easier if I can run to the projector and fix a bad perforation or bad splice without going to another room.
Some libraries still have 16mm but don't generally lend it out to the public. I'm joining a film association just to get access to their library, maybe something like this exists in your area too?
As for destruction of media, well, not the first time something like that has happened! It's always a fight to preserve the past.
