Is there anything better than a librarian in tie dye pants? No, no there is not.

Have a librarian-approved weekend (and go to the library, too!).

Yes, librarians are that fabulous.

This actually makes me feel better about starting Sunday hours this weekend . . . even though there’s no chance of our van guys going shirtless, or bearing hot wings.

O-M-G I was watching this video, thinking this has to have been produced in CA or some other progressive (liberal leaning )state, because no Virginia library would EVER do something like this (seemingly liberal)!!! Then to find its Rappahannock! I’m happy feet here and so proud.

OMG MY LIBRARIANS!

AND MY LIBRARIES!!!!

It’s true and so much suck when they changed the hours. Not to mention cutting money for getting classroom books. They bent over backwards the bast 2 years helping me get enough copies for Treasure Island and the Count of Monte Cristo for my students outside the classroom. Now they are SO MUCH COOLER.

And that book on hold? Mine. I have to go get it after school today! :)

I live right across the street from a branch library and that place is always packed. And it warms my heart to see it so busy and there is so much there for everyone- books, movies, computers and of course awesome librarians.

And it boils my blood to hear of budget cuts to libraries because in these sucky economic times more and more people need the library’s services. That’s why I try to support my library because if the powers-that-be see people using them then maybe they won’t cut their funding.

Librarians are my heroes!! That was so cool. It made my morning.

This is the short version, the longer one has a wicked funny first part about the crazy things librarians have to deal with and how much harder it is with little staff. I know it reflects the truth because I’m a librarian.

Love it! Especially love the shipping librarian with no shirts! Whoo-hoo! Our library budgets have been cut here and all the branches except the main one are closed on Mondays, which means I can’t go to the neighborhood library with my kid on my day off. Argh.

Captcha: against57

I definitely have 57 reasons against library closures.

Oh, I beg to differ, that book on hold is MINE, and I’ll be swinging through the drive through for it tonight. Anne Stuart’s Reckless. Happy Saturday to me!!

Librarians ROCK!

Oh, I love libraries! Love, love, love them. And librarians are my heroes. (Though I must see if we can persuade our library services guys up here north of the border to try that shirtless shipping thing… :-)

I have been a fan of US libraries since I moved here in the late sixties: I don’t think Americans realize what a wonder their libraries truly are.

There are no kittens, bunnies, puppies, or laughing babies, but this is somehow the cutest funny video I have seen for a long time.

I love my library for being my best source for free e-books to read on my lovely nook. Yeah Philly Free Library!

Delightful! However, I have to confess to feeling quite shocked at the sight of a librarian lady STANDING ON A TABLE!!!

Thank you all librarians and libraries across the world. I feel that without the means to escape that my local library afforded me as a child, I could have suffered quite serious mental ill health.

DANCING ON A LIBRARY TABLE

That is awesomesauce of the highest order. My mom is a librarian, and I am a library addict.

I MUST send the URL for this to our local library ladies who are comprised of high percentages of awesomeness.

Thanks so much for sharing this!

spamword: when98…..when 98% of the population uses the library there will be much win!

My mom is also a librarian. She says that librarians’ conventions are one big party, and you should lock up your husbands and sons when they come to town. She’s just playing with my mind, right?

Well, there is something at least as awesome as this: librarians dancing with book carts to music from The Blues Brothers, with two of them in the appropriate costume. Unfortunately this is probably not online yet; I saw it live this afternoon at staff training day.

Why yes, I am a pushover for anything Blues Brothers.

I was watching the video and thought to myself “hmm, that library looks familiar…” and at the end realized it’s my hometown library, where I got my first library card! I loved that place- my mom would take my brother and me every Friday after school and my brother would sulk because he knew my mom and me would take atleast 2 hours and leave with like 5 books each. This video was awesome, thanks for posting it :)

For your next video perhaps a parody of Project Runway? That white haired gentleman looks like Tim Gunn. Thanks for the smiles! Goodness knows we all need them about now.
