This video from SaveOhioLibraries.com (with the help of the Capital Area Humane Society) points out how public libraries help people find work. I like when the kitten prints out her resume. If you want more, see the hat outtakes! Thanks, Dina Wood!
I’m not sure what library this is, anybody know? Thanks, Dina Wood!
Several institutions of higher learning offer (or suffer) library dance parties during exam week. Oberlin College’s five-minute dance breaks recently got some NPR coverage; this video shows a sampling (sans music) at about 1:07 and forward. The University of Montana, Allegheny College, the University of North Carolina-Wilmington, the College of Charleston, the University of Virginia, the University of Miami, and many others also host (deliberately or not) dance parties small and large. Thanks, Carol Dickerson, Ray English, and others!
Students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln perform a choreographed dance to My Chemical Romance’s “Teenagers” during the university’s “dead week” in December 2010. The youtube description calls it a flash mob, but to my mind a flash mob would be bigger and perhaps less choreographed; this seems more like a show. Excellent shenanigan, whatever they may call it. Thanks, Gwen Gregory!
In 2006, the University of Aalborg library in Denmark had an excellent Christmas tree made of (green) volumes of the National Union Catalog. Later, libraries at Loyola Marymount University and the University of San Francisco had similar trees. Thanks, Erin McKean!
