How a Book Burning Party Saved a Library

So absolutely worth three minutes of your time.

Nice video, but have you any idea how awful vimeo is on a slow internet connection? I'd get about 2 seconds, then a 10 second pause while more loaded.

Library, library, library. Just say no to the whackos! That's pretty damn smart. :))

That's pretty awesome. Whoever thought of that should get some kind of award. And a big marketing job.

Hey, I notice Charter Shorts isn't on your currently reading list anymore. Does that mean you finished it?

I loved that. Thank you so much for sharing. Gonna send it to a friend to look at.

@Sue Ann: I'm just the embedder, not the uploader, so I don't have any control over format. Sorry you had a tough time with it.

@LG: I thought so.

@Andrew: Yup. Finally! It will show up in one of my monthly reading roundups when I get around to writing it. I really enjoyed it. Every writer should read stories written by kids. It is liberating.

@Michael: I thought it was worth sharing.

Wow. American librarians are media savvy. Check out that funky music and overlay of voices.

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. :)
I have about 5 times as many kids this year (so far (some kids are still waiting to get into the class, including my son!)), so I'm hoping for a substantially longer book for this year's project.

Fun stuff. ;)

I know that you're up at the cottage just now, but I couldn't resist tagging you on a meme: http://kelworthfiles.wordpress.com/2012/09/20/hopping-on-the-be-inspired-meme/
