Thanks to Metafilter, I now know what happens at the American Library Association’s national conference… Book Cart Drill Team Championships.
Here are the winners of the 2008 contest, the Santa Monica Public Library "Well Stacked Scibrarians" and their Thriller-centric routine.
Also interesting but less rocking, a story from a show called "How Buildings Learn", based on a book by the same name about the evolution that buildings go through as people live and work in them.
This particular story is about The Oak Beams of New College, Oxford where you learn what happened when the oak beams in their Great Hall were discovered to be full of beetles some 500 years after its construction. I won’t give away the ending, but its fairly smart.
Librarians know how to party!
