A Bit of Humor


Proof that librarians can be fun.

Click on this link to see a video of the Oak Park Public Library's book cart drill team, the "Oak Park Public Library Warrior Librarians" , the winner of this year's National Book Cart Drill Team Championship. The championship took place on July 12, 2009 as part of the American Library Association's annual conference in Chicago.

The "Oak Park Public Library Warrior Librarians" are fighting against illiteracy and intolerance. The music the team chose for the competition is Richard Wagner's "Die Walküre" ("Ride of the Valkyries") performed by the Budapest Concert Orchestra conducted by Tamás Gál.
