Online video

I think everyone loves youtube. Finding a video you want is as easy as performing a keyword search and watching it a mere click of Play button. Even my husband who does not use the computer very much loves to use youtube - he listens and watches bands of yesteryear much to my teenagers dismay. Youtube also lets you send video links to your friends, my daughter is often kept amused on the train by the funny clips that are sent to her iphone. Lots could be said about the merits of youtube...but for the library?
Well one idea is that it could be a useful tool for giving viewers a visual on what the library looks like. Each branch could be featured showing basic layout and what resources available eg internets, catalogue, local history, council information, and of course the friendly staff!
Watch the clip below maybe the branch librarian could sing while giving the tour of your library.
