Silenced in the Library: Keeping your patrons quiet in the modern lending library

[MinisterAilingTongue]

I should have shown this to the library administrator of at my university when I had a chat with her about changing the rules BACK to the way they were a couple years before. She pointed out that the MODERN person needs a community center more than a quiet place to live. Quiet places?! Those only exist if you have so much money you can build yourself a study. How quaint of me to think that silent reading and silent problem solving can be done with out the aid of Google or Steve Jobs...

@MinisterAilingTongue I've always found the stacks about the only silent place in a modern library. Rolling stacks are good as you can cocoon yourself in them and get a friend to close them behind you...

Glad you liked it, and thanks for the linkage - the more people learn about the weasel (and co) the better! I actually used this vid as part of a workshop I ran for librarians on screenwriting and video production last week over at Staffordshire Uni, so it's getting a bit of extra exposure!

I say that Weasel is a splendid chappie. None of the noisy dreadful business. You''l never see dwarfs working a libraries... for obvious reasons. I like to have some tea and bit of crumpet while listening to the gramaphone. Awfully fun stuff - just let the little ladies spoil the fun with their opinions on the news. What next? The vote for the fairer sex hahaha. Pass the opium pipe my good man....

Fantastic! And a random Pikachu! He's not in the usual cast of characters!

[llordllama]

Pikachu only makes to odd appearance as he's flipping hard to hold without squeeking - which for this one wasn't a problem!
