While I love all of the Shanachie Tour videos of American public libraries released so far, my favorite is easily the one from the Florence Public Library in Colorado. Not because of the message of “the open source ILS song” sung by two librarians there, but more for the spirit in which they sing it. They are having *fun.* You really have to hear this one – jump ahead to the 10:35 mark if you just want to hear the song, but the interviews are great, too.
Nice job, FPL ladies! And great videos, Shanachies! I can’t wait to see you again – I am proud to call you my friends. You inspired many librarians during your journey.
Glad you like the song! Fun is definitely part of library life around here.
If you have a chance to visit come on by.
