[bledsoxc]

[fatman182]

This makes me want to start reading again.

[keifere]

This when I fell in love with Levar Burton! Too cute!

[monkeymirror]

One person had no youth.

[elvee79]

Inspired by this video, I pledge to strut a little between shelves next time I go to the library.

[LoreleiMission]

We need more musical numbers in libraries. Only this and The Music Man have filled the bill.

[VonAether]

Oh good, a free library. Not like those *expensive* libraries.

[smokutusofborg]

that chicks way too hot to be a librarian

[TheCooltrix]

this was the best acid trip ever...(no sarcasm)

[MissNophi2U]

yay youtube! thanks for posting.

[opusrideshoot]

These guys have it made. At our local public library, we had homeless people smelling of cheap booze and residents from the nearby looney bin. Seeing Jesus blessing every book on the shelf as he walked around the library was the highlight of the day.

[Starskylina87]

That's what I'm talking about music and dancing around the Library cool!!

[uniquepeople1]

Is it just me, or is 1:30 - 2:00 practically an acid trip? I've personally never tried any halluncinagens, but I would this what it would be like. Just strange imaginative people coming out of nowhere. Kinda creepy.

[eracism09]

Could just be me, but this song was kinda creepy I was a kid......I think it was the chanting, check it out, check it out, that freaked me out the most......like a bunch of library zombies or something, Lol:)

[bigazzpimp407]

@eracism09 lmao

[Tanyableu]

Whi is the woman with the booming voice? I've suspected for years she might be 'somebody', but never knew...

[kajeki]

Best. Song about checking out the library. Ever.

[kajeki]

[Cobrawolf]

I like to find the one with Conan: The Librarian.

[AndromacheNY]

@Cobrawolf I loved that bit! That's the first episode of Reading Rainbow that I was in. Conan is in in Season (1986) episode 27. The main book was Alistaire in Outer Space. (I was the kid reviewing "Check It Out: The Book About Libraries")

[blugreen123]

i always thought that librarian lady could really sing. was she singing? or lip-synching?

[blugreen123]

another one of my fave moments. i watched this regularly until i was in college. then i couldn't find it on anymore

[MrJonathanschneider]

Upon Further Review this Library is the Milburn Free Public Library in Milburn,NJ

[jadenova]

Thanks for that. I always wanted to know what library this is.

[BinarySunset77]

Cracks me up every time! Too bad people don't burst into song and dance at libraries nowadays, lol!

[NaturVita]

God I miss the 80's.

[DRUMMERMAN77]

[MrJonathanschneider]

I've put told through the years that that's the old Fort Lee Public Library in Fort Lee,NJ

Way before it was renovated

[rwatson8]

It is located in the year 1983.

[silentknight206]

Does anyone know where this library is located?

[gangstahousewife]

[QueenCosmos]

[chadior]

The best part of this video is at 2:34 when Lavar gets so excited about free books!

[prowresler]

[xxxclusively]

@chadior OMG! you are so right...he was too excited! I love it!

[TheBrooklynUSA]

YOU ARE TOO FUNNY. THE LADY WITH THE RED DRESS DID HER THING.

[jranner]

Lavarr is totally hitting that librarian.

[RobZakes]

Man, I wish that Gordi LaForge would take me to the library where I can see crazy cartoons.

[CK2012]

That was his Star Trek TNG name his name is Lavar Burtan

[RobZakes]

I said: I want Gordi LaForge to take me to the library where I can see crazy cartoons.

[AnimeBleachBabe]
