"Ray of Light" St. Joseph County Public Library Version

[mcenn]

This gave me joy.

[antiquegoddess]

I saw this years ago and just loved it and then about had tears to realize it was my hometown.. South Bend rocks!

[MrsLederer]

Very cute! I work at a library so I sure recognized a lot of what you're doing!

[rakuchina]

That's cute! Good job!

I was the cashier in the original Madonna video.

[sillykhantvshow]

Great video

So librarians do have fun

[meinLiebsterFeind]

GOOD JOB ON THE VIDEO! I like this audio track way better than the madonna song really

[webgurl]

kind of sad that youtube is going after libraries. I thought it would somehow fall under fairuse (educational? although that might be shaky).

My library group used an older song and did what I thought would fall under fair use / parody but youtube took the music out anyhow. Maybe if we had stamped PARODY or clearly stated parody, that would have been okay. Anyhow, this is well done regardless of the music.

[cryptopsyamon]

amazing work on this video - being from Joe town I enjoy the library and they are great info source. Good video great effects and editing

[Chumandoo3]

Hmmmm...pretty good, quite a well done video, except there are no titty slips that I could notice anywhere. Put one in and I should think to give this clip 5 stars...

[SimbaKitty23]

im feeling naughty at the moment. :|

[RoxasLov3r4Ev3r]

lolz :D :P

[SimbaKitty23]

The middle girl at 2:22 is my moms friend.

[hornybodhisattva]

this is sooooo fun and inventive

wow

[rascalwhale]

Wow! I am so impressed! What a completely awesome video - I love the part where you follow the stack of books through the library.

[paigeturner33]

I love that libraries can have so much fun. I am looking for ideas for our upcoming staff inservice and ran across this. Great job.

[bobby4500]

perfectly done!!

[kayon22]

hey, less waving and more working.!!

[fireman507]

Ta cool el video, muy bien hecho!!

[jcxoxjc]

I NEED HELP on the last music on the credit

[mewejo]

all start - smash mouth

[Libraries4u]

Love this! I hope our public library can create/upload a cool YouTube video like this!

[tomlondon]

really good

[17db77b]

Good work on this, guys.

[jimcasey1950]

Neat Video of a hectic day at a public library.

[discerningpalate]

I wasn't a big fan of the song, until now. It really is a great PR piece...entertaining and enlightening.

[54spiritedwill54]

What the... haha. cool, cool video dude xD

[matrixone22]

Oh this is so cool the song totally suits it

Well do

ne!

[loondiver]

Great show! Captures the energy, complexity, enthusiasm, inventiveness, playfulness of the library staff. The time-lapse technique is perfect for expressing the busy activity that is often behind-the-scenes in library services.

[AlwaysTheQuiet1]

You have such a cool-looking library! And quite a lot of security guards. We only have one, he's about 70 years old and he limps. :)

[Gypsybrarian]

I came across this after reading the recent OCLC report. Great video!

[Masidero]

wow, its really good, probably better than the original

[toyamac]

WOOOW!!! I love it!!

[jahurst2]

I just stumbled across this! Very cool!

[stargis777]

wow great video..! Madonna would be proud!

[sarahlost36]

awesomest libary appreciation ever

[dgs97420]

best library ever!

[tzaremba958]

Best Library Ever!

[lyingfriar]

You did such a great job!!

[HellField04]

This is SPECIAL! I seriously think M would approve.

[AtenRa]

Amazing job! I work in the biggest library in Canada and I wish it could look as cool as this one, hehe.

[dlralston]

Very nicely done, I am a frequent visitor to the Francis Branch and stumbled upon this by accident and was amazed by how professional it looked.

[YUMAKEN]

Y'know Madonna put this vids on her Blog. And this is very worth it. Even Librarian can catch a Pop groove, whatta Wonderful country, America.

[lebaresq]

Kudos & multiple cheers. This interpretation is indisputably a 'labor of love' that does true justice to the musical composition and all the creative folks that underlie it. MLVCR's people should give the SJCPL producers a contract!

[gambler6]

Great job. Nice editing!

[m715fm]

Great job.

[firebreatherjen]

This really is great! It looks like what my usual day feels like.

[Oryem]

That's hot

[telewizorr]

EXTRA - EXTRA smart idea 5*

[cesarb323]

asome, cool good work.

[jarix5]

[Ssangmoon]

What the... haha. cool, cool video dude xD

[Prawn2000]

This is a really great clip. Good on ya guys

[zvengaar]

This video is a good example of why the SJCPL has consistently (for the past 8 years) been ranked in the top ten for libraries serving a population of 100,000 - 250,000. Reminds me to use my library card more often.

[CUBBYBEAR30]

exallent vid! i loved it,

[thecomputerguy22]

Nice!!! Maybe even better than Madonna's music video.

[marcwebb1969]

Greatest movie.. keep up the great work.. maybe you should do one from firehouse.. going down the pole and etc..lol

[iwishiwerecanadian]

so. cool. :)

[jaredcuh]

this video is fantastic!! and you guys have GREAT taste in music! madonna best

[MariposaTX05]

OMG I have that Mickey clock!!! LOL That security guard they showed walking really fast was kinda cute....

[MoreThanBooks]

I loved your video-you guys are the epitomy of how fun librarians can be! Great job from a fellow MLSer.

[MyFatDogBook]

Delightful. Librarians rock on!

[boyfigureskater1996]

i love this song and seing this is so cool coz it is a take off of the film clip

[DDbRowN67]

how fun!!

[Icecreamstick]

LoL at all the waving pauses

[GentlemanDVnt]

Very cool - I was impressed by the fun and creativity and love how this flows. Gladly added to my Favorites. Bravo

[richybabexx]

I like this but the waving got a bit annoying after a while. You clearly showed both the variety and fun of this place, but the waving made it a bit unrealistic. That's just simply my professional view as a film and tv student. Well done though, overall good job!! I'm making something similar so I'll keep you posted.

[chevychase]

I made a video like this for my library years ago and I recommend it for anyone thinking of making a little time capsule of a library.

But goodness gracious, I can't recall the last time I saw so many white people. Are there really almost no minority folks in St. Joseph County?

[MajorTomServo]

Looks like about ~83% white according to Wikipedia. What's your point?

[floriandrea]

Me encanto!...Saludos desde Chile

[k92006]

Neat! I want to work there :D

[Vennegoor10]

This is wonderful!

[rikhei]

Awesome!

[DaniKin]

Very very awesome guys! Good work St. Joe's!

[jentwo]

This was AWESOME! It makes me want to come work for your library system. :-)

[wnikolai]

What do you folks do for the rest of the day?! Very nice!

[itone]

this is so awesome! i love that you used Madonna too. :-D

[hilesr]

This is so cool! I bet it got "Staff Day" off to a good start. It's an example to the rest of us!

[rome99]

wow! very very cool!!!!

[skagirlie]

thanks for putting this up.

[panhandlepete]

awesome!
