Jack Carter & the Armory: “Smith and The West End”
Smith and The West End \\ Jack Carter and The Armory from Kim Newmoney on Vimeo.
Partly filmed in one of the libraries of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I wonder if they got permission? Either way, seems like a shenanigan. It’s a pretty catchy song, too, and I enjoyed the deliberately-half-assed lip-synching. Thanks, Robert Stoesen!
Librarian Rhapsody
The librarians of Nowra in New South Wales, Australia perform a library-centric version of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” It begins “Is this nonfiction, is this just fantasy?” and ends “Libraries really matter … to me.” (Thanks, Feminist Library on Wheels!)
Forbes Library staff shenanigans
The staff of the Forbes Library in Northampton, Massachusetts have put together some shenaniganny videos:
Thanks, Jonathan Caws-Elwitt!
“Check It Out” Taylor Swift parody
The Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library is responsible for this video. Thanks, Dina Wood!
short film made in and around Tutt Library
This is quite lovely! Congratulations to director Chauncey Crail and the rest of his Colorado College team (Corrina Leatherwood, Caitlin Taber, James Dinneen, Dylan Pearl, Holly Pretsky, and Alec Sarche, plus many more).
All About the Books (No Trouble)
Staff of the Nashville Public Library recorded a library-centered version of the Meghan Trainor earworm. Thanks, Steve Lawson!
Lena Dunham student film at the Oberlin library
Lena Dunham’s student film “Pressure,” filmed in the Oberlin library when she was 19 (so, about 2005). I don’t know if she got permission to film in the library. I’m guessing not.
loud eating in the library
I must confess, this one made me laugh out loud, somewhat against my will. Seeing someone take big bites out of a head of lettuce would probably be funny in any context, but it’s especially funny in a library.
We think this may have been filmed at UCCS, which suggests that the pranksters could make Colorado College their next pranking site. Not sure if that makes me happy or worried. Thanks, Steve Lawson!
card catalog shenanigan
I have categories for library shenanigans perpetrated by students, staff, and animals. This one is perpetrated by ghosts. It’s the New York Public Library card catalog frenzy in Ghostbusters.
Hombre McSteez’s aug(de)mented reality
Hombre McSteez uses an unusual stop-motion technique to make wonderful short videos. Check out the library shenanigan at the 1:03 minute mark:
Thanks, Suzie DeGrasse!
