Since I know people who upload videos to YouTube, I frequently check the site to see what's new. Today in my browsing, in addition to checking my usual clips, I found and enjoyed the following videos:

A Quick Tour of the Gail Borden Public Library
Posted on 11/14/06, this short video runs for 2:27 and is a very inviting introduction to the facility. I keep meaning to stop in and check out their new building, haven't gotten there yet, and, after watching the clip, am convinced that I should drop by.

What's New at the Library? August 13-19
Since I think a "what's new?" vlog is a really useful, eye-catching, and entertaining way to spread the word about programs, events, aquisitions, and information, I was interested in seeing the AHML LibVlog posted on 8/9/07. This short, 2:15, clip presented useful and timely facts in a pleasant format.

Abraham Lincoln the Early Years

Abraham Lincoln--His Great Work as President
Both of these clips, part of the AHML series of LibVlogs feature Sarah Long conducting an interview while touring the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum in Springfield, IL. Together they total over ten minutes and I usually prefer shorter clips. However, I could not resist watching both of them, since earlier this week, I toured the museum and found it to be a profoundly moving, deeply interesting, and highly informative experience. They provide an informative introduction to the musuem for those who have never been there and a solid review of the experience for those who have visited.
I would like to see our library use online video to promote activities, feature special events and displays, and give brief introductions / instructions on new procedures.
