Cool Library Promotion

Check out this very funny video below. I really enjoyed when the ghost gets out his laptop and uses the dictionary:

When I first watched this, I thought “man, that’s funny, and its in the gorgeous NYPL reading room.” Then I saw the credits for the library at 3:24 and I wanted to share it with you all. What a great way to promote not only your own library, but libraries in general. It was nice how NYPL not only promoted themselves specifically, but they promoted libraries in general. Maybe some effort should be made to advance the cause of libraries through viral videos (like the one above). (Hello ALA, are you listening?)

And I appreciate these folks’ effort, but the few seconds of library advertisement above are far more effective, I think, than this whole video. Or, maybe it’s that I don’t like Lady Gaga. Either way, here is the other video:

To be frank, this is the only Lady Gaga song I have heard anywhere that I like (meaning this specific version):

Sorry if that’s too many videos. Have a great Tuesday!
