“Check out that book, like, yeah”

This inspirational library video helps all of us to recognize that you don’t need to have a Julliard-trained voice in order to make an awesome library music video. You’ve got some strong library feelings? Belt them out!

Paying homage to the Miley Cyrus ditty “Party in the USA,” we learn that you can also party in the library. Of course, we librarians know that every day is a party in the library!

It’s nominated in two categories: Best Musical and Best Spoof.





Library awesomeness trumps holiday blahs!

30 12 2009

I hadn’t planned on posting this week. It’s Winter Break and I know many of our loyal readers will be away from their desks visiting family, skiing, eating leftovers, etc.  And I’m at work where I could be spending the few quiet days of the year working on research guides or plowing through a backlog of approval slips.  Or I could spend the time trolling for fantastic library videos.  Guess what I chose?

Heather Schubert at the Hill Country Middle School Library in Austin, Texas knows that the holiday break can bring a bit too much down-time.  In this cautionary tale, nominated for Best Acting – Librarian and Best Comedy, we learn  all about how Heather spent her last winter break and the importance of checking out some good books before the school closes down for the holidays.

We also learn that school libraries can make really fun videos too. Awesomeness!
