Last month the Norman Central Public Library – which serves three counties in Oklahoma – posted on Facebook that they were ready to move from their old brown brick building to a shiny new edifice down the street. They asked for volunteers to help move books from their old shelves to the new ones. Over 650 readers of all ages showed up and made a human chain to span the quarter-mile distance between the two libraries. As the old saying goes, many hands make light work. The entire process took about 45 minutes. The library managed to capture the magic of the event by attaching a GoPro camera to a copy of Steven Kellog’s picture book “Chicken Little” as it was passed from hand to hand down the line. The resulting video is almost as fun as actually being there. You can find it on YouTube under the name of “Book Brigade: A Traveling Book Video.”
