Video Coolness at My Library

Have you been thinking about diving into video? Confused about where to begin? Here are some ideas, taken from the highly creative people that work at my library.

First off, the William Allen White booktalks. What are they? From our Papercuts blog: “Traditionally, the Kansas William Allen White (WAW) book award nominee booktalks have been performed annually by Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library staff in person at local area schools. Realizing that it is impossible to reach all students in the service area in person, Sandy Lane and Robin Clark collaborated with Topeka area gifted students to produce these highly creative videos on Youtube featuring book reviews of the current William Allen White nominees for 2007-2008. The videos include interviews from “The Dr. Dyl Show”, several inanimate object reviewers, masked anonymous book reviewers, and one with exceptional headgear.” (go read the whole post!).

Here are the videos:

Two other videos from my library to point out:

You can find these videos and more on our YouTube channel. So… that’s what we’re doing with video… what are YOU doing with video?

    Hooray! The TSCPL library videos were also mentioned in the new (january 2008) issue of Library Journal — page 15, the “front desk” section, and I have to say, the picture they used of my Barbie doll posing with Colin Firth is basically adorable!
