[tazadan]

Like this one too...Our library is facing and currently has faced cuts.

[fkkkkkenig]

libraries are an essential part of any society and will always exist in some form or another. Knowledge is an invaluable asset to our continued survival and cognizance.

[earthlib]

very nice music vdo ชอบจัง เอิ๊กๆๆ

[BeverlyAR1]

Thanks this is so great--I can't wait to show it at my library!!!

[dejaver18]

I love libraries, but I love librarians even more! Who says we aren't cool?

Thumbs up!

[MissGizella]

Super cool! Go librarians! Gooooo!!!

[aachayefsky]

I didn't see the knock to homeschoolers, what I heard was, they depend on public libraries to fill out their own curriculum. This is a great way to share the message

[cmcda]

hahahahha...very nice...awesomeeeeeee guys..ur all lovable..

[benjy414]

Very inspiring! Nice job.

[AshlandMystery]

Great job! Love my library and yours too!!

[DavmarH]

Loved your video! Our libraries in Bolton, England are facing the same problems and your video cheered us all up !!!

Many thanks XXX Books will always be cool ! x

[MissJoey006]

The lyrics are epic... it's just so funny and entertaining! You all look like you had a great time making it :D

[MissJoey006]

This is absolutely genius.

[sailormoon0207]

did anyone see miki falls ?

[crmillan]

I had a great time with this video. Absolutely lovely!! Congratulations!!

[canalbib]

Muy buena idea. Gracias



[pequehg]

Me encanta. En mi biblioteca no tenemos repartidores descamisados y quiero uno!

[ilzarbe1965]

Lovely video, congratulations form Spain

[ladybugjule]

Central Rappahannock Regional Library System rocks! Love the lyrics and the music. "Libraries are the epitome of cool!" -- and libraries WILL survive! Love this music video!

[Lenner010]

the lyrics are awesome! does anyone know how one might be able to add the soundtrack to an ipod?

[reiner7674]

@Lenner010 look for youtube to mp3 converter on google ;)

[dramainthelibrary]

You're right, libraries are the epitome of cool.

[MsNonInflatable]

This just made my day.

[habboier]

Saw this in school today for Cafe Book XD

[Jacquiesawesome]

Haha!!! I love this video it is so awesome!!! i used to volunteer at my local library and Iove this!!

[AuberellaDorkella]

Question: why can't my library be as awesome as y'alls!?

<33

[1957Giselle]

Could we make a flamenco version? Congratulations from a spanish university library ¡¡¡¡¡¡

[skaizun]

Apparently, librarians can't dance, lip-sync, or write decent lyrics,

but ya gotta love the message!

[kringsilkeborg]

Just fantastic. You must have had a lot of fun making this. 

[AngeloBovina]

WOW! I love you all! from a little librarian of a little italian village. (che invidia delle vostre biblioteche!)

[balbinars]

I like it very much, congratulations!!!

[ivemaldo]

This video this awesome. It is not suitable for traditional librarians. Any similarity with the reality of Puerto Rico is a pure coincidence.

[MistressELW]

That was wonderful! Pure genius!

[languagenut5]

This is pure GENIUS!!!  :)

[Netballman]

I want to see the Salem branch doing some busby berkeley routines! Such synchrony! :)

[InuyashaKagomae4ever]

Manga is awesome! And cute!

[rpeacefuld]

Proof librarians have no rhythm.

[Trippinoutmysoul]

I love that this was done at my hometown library, where I got my first library card. Yay for Central Rappahannock!! You guys rock :)

[MonicaBurns]

I watched this video thinking surely it was filmed in some progressive CA library system only to find O-M-G it's a VIRGINIA library system!!! (I'm in Richmond) WOOT!! You librarians RAWK!! Thanks for all you do to spread the word about books and the power of knowledge!

Best, Monica

[22blackcats]

These are my darling local librarians, singing and dancing. So darling! Really a wonderful library system.

[daleymw]

This is grand. I'm impressed with its cleverness and it was made by my hometown's public library system. I've shared it widely. Library lovers unite!

[lordly22]

This is super! I hope your video gets shown at the National Conference!!!!!!!

[ricracretro]

hats off to Central Rappahannock Regional Library! 

[redneckfordman94]

hahahaha! my buddy just told me about this! this is hilarious! this was made by the library in my home town, i didnt know they even made vids lol

[MeganeSensei]

You ladies and gentlemen all rule!! I lost my librarian job in a budget cut and am longing to get back. You make me proud to be a public librarian always in my heart--and soon again in a library branch, I hope!

[rbud57]

woohoo, love it! I'm a library director at a very tiny library in the Midwest, and this just made my night - thanks, all, what a great video! :)

[thatlorigirl]

You go, librarians!

[katiesueme]

From a librarian in Montana, " You Rock!!"

[goclaudia1965]

I Loved it! I am a frequent patron of the Salem and downtown Fredericksburg branches. It's nice to see that we can still have a sense of humor during the economic crisis and budget cuts. Great Job !

[patriciaeliza777]

Great job library people, the amount of work for that engaging product is evident!

[jesus4elaine1]

I'm so pumped at seeing these librarians using humor to make a point. I volunteer at Salem Church Branch and I think those folks were the best! Particularly like the cardboard pic of Barbara's head being waved back and forth!  Lol!

[lg8s]

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! 

[wvfiddlersmom]

As a librarian AND homeschooling parent, I thought this was ABSOLUTELY brilliant!! You need to take this act on the road! Have you considered doing state Library Association meetings to spread the word? You folks rock! :)

[cathianne66]

This is brilliant! It's great to see people having so much fun like this. Let's never take for granted our libraries and our librarians!

[NOOBZILLAZ]

Nice job CCRL! I go to the library in downtown Fredericksburg. Cant wait for the new one opening in Stafford!

[thefranco1]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

AWESOME!!!!

[dianecritch1]

CCRL is the "epitome of cool," and those are some "random shirtless guys"; one is a serious writer. Way to go, home-town crew.

[rce1940]

I have been a volunteer at the Library HQ for the last couple years...It is amazing the volumes of books that come and go at this branch...The library system deserves the money and with all the patrons we get there,budget cuts should come from somewhere else...not from a place as important as the library..

[foldedintobeauty3]

i don't think this video knocked home schoolers...............

librarians are special:)

[gwg1949]

CCRL staff: You absolutely ROCK!!! You make me proud to be a library trustee!

Gary Grant, Trustee, JMRL Board of Trustees from Albemarle County.

[canard651]

Fabulous facilities. It looks like you are doing more than "surviving". Our little library in North Versailles, Pennsylvania operates out tiny walk-in closet of a space. And whether we survive or not is very, very problematic.

[TheViennaBelle]

Central Rappahannock library rocks! Let's hope Guv McD hears this!

[xyzagirl]

I think this is creative and very funny. I am not sure why anyone would be embarrassed. It is a problem the country over. I wish my local librarians were cool like this.

[skymason]

This is such a cool way to spread the word on how important libraries are to the communities they serve. Great job!

[melmcflyer16]

YES! LIBRARIES WILL SURVIVE!

you're all fabulous!

[cdm0014]

im about to go to the library right now lol

[lolstfu]

oh my god this is so fantastic! what a clever way to spread to word, i love it! meg bingham if you see this it's marissa and you officially work at the world's coolest library ever :)

i still go to the library and check out books on a weekly basis! go libraries!

[anamatopoeia]

i LOVE this!! what a great sense of humor and great sports it took to make this! y'all keep on "rockin!" this is very cute.

[libvidawards]

Congratulations! Your video has been nominated for Best Musical on the LibVid Awards blog.

[ChristophProbst]

I love how they try to get into it, and they just don't have rhythm. Adorable!

[aerobicsgirl]

We homeschool too and I didn't mind the comment at all! Great video. We LOVE Salem Church! :-)

[willmanx]

HUUUUUUUUGE ! I so Loooove it !

And I love my library ! I accessed so many comics, CDs and books through my youth when I had no money. And now I still get there because of the great help we get to discover new stuffs.

[roachqueen32]

This is embarrassing to libraries.

But you probably won't allow this comment to post, will you?

[arfies]

@roachqueen32 Come now. (Public) libraries are typically anti-censorship. And how is it "embarrassing to libraries?" I think it's awesome!

[roachqueen32]

@roachqueen32 - Well my gosh, here it is. You sure proved me wrong.

[purgatori27]

Most people haven't learned to apply two very important lessons in life: Learn to accept things you cannot change (it's a fact: stress kills!), and when life hands you lemons, make lemonade!

Turn the other cheek, make lemonade, and always look on the bright side of life. I say do another video, but make it good! Very creative and appealing to breadwinners. I am going to share this on Facebook. YOU: Spread the word, get them recognized and get their budget paid for! We CAN do it!

[rebecca18nyc]

Wow! The CRRL rocks and I'm very proud of my hometown, Fredericksburg, Virginia and all the talented and dedicated folks who work at the fabulous Central Rappahannock Regional Library. Thanks so much for sharing this fun and important message. Libraries are truly places where you discover all kinds of wonderful things, including very hip librarians! Bravo!

[dlynn9801]

Hats off to Sean and all the CRRL staffers who participated in this clever video send-up!! Libraries are the font of knowledge for an informed citizenry (Sorry, Google! Sorry, Wikipedia! Sorry, Internet!) Library services are a vital link for a diverse community...and great recreation as well!

[lap0rta]

Love this!

[drterrib]

You guys should be so proud of this!! I will post to my Facebook page and remind people to use the public library!! Thanks!!

[tumerica]

Adorable! Righteous! Creative silliness! With such juiciness as this, no way will our libraries fall to budget cuts! They wouldn't dare!

[usfplib]

Very nice! And I really like how you did the map at the end so we can know where you are located.

[dest1ntheory]

If this is your local library, watch out for the random shirtless guys...

But seriously, I like this a lot. But then, I practically grew up in a library, so they always give me warm fuzzy feelings.

[poet4jesus]

I love my library!!! They are still the epitome of cool!!!!

[ashxf]

((salute from the Louisiana libraries!)) We seriously need to do a video like that down here! Bravo y'all, this was awesome!

[majmjt]

HAHAHAHAH i go to that library all da time. its in fredericksburg VA and that new one is in stafford county! woot woot cant wait for the new one to open!

[MobyMom]

I didn't take the comment about home schoolers as a knock. They're right we WOULD be upset. I took it as not wanting to make cuts in an area that would upset and impact home schoolers.

Librarians - I have reposted your most excellent video as part of my blog series on making videos. As an example of how any point can be made with video. And if librarians have discovered the power of YouTube, it's about time business owners stopped being afraid of the camera and followed your lead. Great work!

[SuperhumanChichi]

I wish the librarians from my local library were as awesome as you guys! Great video :)

[mms817]

Great lyrics and video! Looks like everyone had fun making this! I'm proud to say that this is my regional library system - CRRL Rocks!

[beamla]

Nice work! I love my library!

[jaleraas]

Other than knocking home schoolers (boooo!) this video is totally, totally cool!

[crrlvideo]

@jaleraas Thanks! We really do love home schoolers! They would be the first to complain (and rightly so) if we started offering condensed books instead of the real thing.

[jaleraas]

@crrlvideo Yeah, I guess you're right.

[bcg8]

@jaleraas The video does not knock home schoolers. It is saying they will be upset if content is reduced.

[pixjen]

@jaleraas As a homeschool family, I don't think they were knocking us at all. Homeschoolers *would* be peeved by condensed books. :)

[loriayre]

Great! Salem Church branch - my personal fave for choreography. Some good dude scenes! Good on you all!

[divalicias]

Love our library! Great show -- and you folks really do know how to squeeze the last bit of value out of a dollar. Thank you all for everything you do!

[cygnus83]

Epic!

[HPfan68]

I love my library!!!!

[LeaMtl]

Two BIG thumbs up from the Quebec's national library!!!

[weez42]

Well done, fellow librarians!

[damian363]

Librarians are doing it for themselves.

[AnotherPostcard]

Porter Represent!

Who could have disliked this?

[ladyozma]

I gotta give you guys some props... you sure now how to party! Keep up the good work! 

[MissCaseyJones1]

I'm a librarian, and I love this! :)

[miceandmoonbeams]

What fun!! You all are great! I can't wait for the England Run library to open - I miss the Book Mobile...=)

[mdkndz]

Fantastic!

[delahaya]

Love it!
