Library Revolution

I came upon this video via Tame The Web’s post about it. Awesome.

Here are the top 5 things I love about this video.

1. Community: So I only counted three times the word “community” was actually used… but it is obvious that this is a community center reflecting Shirlngton’s unique flavor.
2. Art: I love how the art, including the artistic design and architecture of the building is featured. Way to make the library matter as both a space and a place! I also love how the focus on art includes “state of the art!”
3. Technology: The only scene featuring heavy shots of books is more about technology and patron empowerment than it is about books and reading.
4. Activity: This is such an active video! Everything from the camera work to the bustle of the patrons portrays the library as a living, breathing entity – an exciting place to be part of!
5. Priorities: This video and its dissemination was obviously important to the library and its administrators. Time, effort, and money were put into it as a priority in publicizing the library, along with its new library and ongoing mission.
