Too cute! I love the list of books at the end credits — wish I could read faster.
Who knew librarians had this much fun?
So cool!!! Thanks for sharing that, Travis! My favorite was the one little book that walked across the shelves by himself. 🙂
I love it! Thanks for sharing!
I’M STEALING IT! I love it. I’ll be showing it to my library helpers before our shelving training. THANKS!
That’s pure awesomeness. I love the random banana sailing on a sea of books. 🙂
It gets cooler and cooler as the video goes on.
