Wonderful. All book and library lovers should watch this. I posted it to my Facebook wall and to the wall of the LOC (Library of Congress) group on Facebook.
This is so fantastic I wish I'd thought of it first. :P Seriously though. I'd agree with the people who are making reccomendations for a sequel. If I can make a suggestion. Scyfy's Alice has a great scene where they show people playing chess surrounded by stacks of books. Also Ella Enchanted has a scene in a library, as well as Julie And Celine Go Boating, the first Mummy movie, and Mirror Mask. Heh, sorry. Looking for scenes like these in movies is kind of a habit of mine. xD
We loved this, and used part of it during our staff development day. As for things missing, we agree with Desk Set, as well as a few poignant episodes of The Twilight Zone.
You did a fabulous job! There are so many movies to choose from, what a challenge! Here are some movies with significant library scenes that you might consider for a sequel: City of Angels, Desk Set, The Day after Tomorrow, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Time Traveler's Wife. Also the "Time Enough at Last" episode of "The Twilight Zone". imdb.com/title/tt0734683/. Also check emp.byui.edu/RAISHM/films/introduction.html for other possibilities.
what about Foul Play with goldie hawn / chevy chase? Some great chase scenes in the library where she works. There was also a good scene in The Mummy - where all the shelves came crashing down.
No scenes from "The Librarian" series of movies? Or all those scenes in "Buffy" with Willow et al. researching monsters? We may need a sequel (yes! yes!) to include more non-classics - there is a large selection to choose from.
Never knew there was so much dancing in the library. I'll have to start doing that more. lol. Also, if you do plan on making a squeal with more clips, you should check out The Young Poisoner's Handbook too. Great job!
loved it, though I'm a bit disappointed you didn't include any scenes from National Treasure. in both movies they were in the Library of Congress. and in movie one, this classic line: "I've brought you to the Library of Congress. Why? Because it's the biggest library in the world. Over 20 million books. And they're all saying the same exact thing: Listen to Riley."
3:31 The Librarian is a very important beacon of society. Where people hit and miss outside the doors of the Library system: the librarian catches humanity to explore the humanities. It's staff shrink the ugliness of an unknown and make it not so scary to someone approaching it for the first time. Librarians help set aside the fear people have by their workshops and cute meetups! Living human beings need to stay focused upon anything which could encroach upon their wellbeing. It's programs...
Hi Bryan. Would like to use part of this as intro to Board Members if that's OK? I'm a teacher librarian in Vernon NJ. Does not have Creative Commons license. Thanks in advance.
EXCUSE me but we at Beauregard Parish Library in Louisiana HAVE COOKIES! It's a no-no on the milk though! LOL Also shushing with cookies is not advisable!
bryangreenland, six years later, and this is still a great montage! I am using the first 30 seconds during a presentation to the Bloomington (IL) Public Library Board, and later I will use the same clip in a presentation to a larger audience. We are participating in a community service initiative, and your video provides a great segue into our community outreach efforts. Here's my question. Our presentations will be videotaped and shared on youtube by the Multicultural Leadership Program in Bloomington, IL; is it all right if the first 30 seconds of your montage is part of our uploaded presentation? Thanks so much. Julie

I'm amazed with this library montage. It provides a variety of scenes referencing the library. I really like it!
Wonderful. All book and library lovers should watch this. I posted it to my Facebook wall and to the wall of the LOC (Library of Congress) group on Facebook.
This was absolutely amazing.
Ted 2 brought me here . Lol
i miss this shows.
How about the Ghostbusters scene in the library basement? Never realized the library was in so many movies. Great job Greene County!
This is so fantastic I wish I'd thought of it first. :P

Having fun isn't hard, when you've got a library card.

Good compilation.
Great. I've always thought about compiling a list of movies with library scenes. Also need Something Wicked This Way Comes"
Funny video! Nice.

Thanks for sharing.
@thhill
Strike up the Band--just as Judy Garland is leaving the library. Great film. Great singing.
Never knew there was so much dancing in the library. I'll have to start doing that more. lol.
Also, if you do plan on making a squeal with more clips, you should check out The Young Poisoner's Handbook too. Great job!
And Ted2. It was actually them parodying the dance in the Breakfast Club that made me come here
@143elw Also -- scenes from "Desk Set" -- Hepburn/Tracy film where Katherine Hepburn is a reference librarian.
loved it, though I'm a bit disappointed you didn't include any scenes from National Treasure. in both movies they were in the Library of Congress. and in movie one, this classic line: "I've brought you to the Library of Congress. Why? Because it's the biggest library in the world. Over 20 million books. And they're all saying the same exact thing: Listen to Riley."
Next time I am down Beauregard way I will make sure I will stop by the library to pick up some cookies... and a box of books.
How about the library from "My Fair Lady"? Great job!
Definitely some Buffy needed for your sequel :D
no clips from the Pagemaster (1994)?! that's a bummer!
Great job!!
Fantastic!!
no scenes from city of angels?
I watched the whole thing anticipating the "Head Over Heels" video. Hope you'll consider putting it in a sequel.

The guy who made this was my English instructor, he rocks! :D
LOL. This made my day.
What film is the next to last clip from, in B&W, with the woman walking out of the empty library through the door?

Epic! Denzel, LOL!
@cooper281c
This is another one I'm unfamiliar with. Looks like I'll be using the library a lot this next week. Thanks for the suggestion!
@debschiart
Absolutely--use this as you would a library material. It's free.
That opening music was from Seinfeld, wasn't it?
@143elw
Great ideas. You all have helped me compile quite the list. A sequel is definitely in order.
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
Transformers: Revenge of the fallen - library gets bombed by a Decepticon

@dczarnik
Desk Set seems to be a popular request. Thanks for the link. I'll check it out!
YES! Desk Set is the best!~
love it! so funny..
Bada**!! Loved it!
@ClassicalBookworm
Epic sandwich eating. ...But really when is Denzel not epic?
Loving all the suggestions. Perhaps I will have to make a follow-up for all the neglected videos. Any other titles I should include?
Hahah. This video is so funny.
Well done :]
Are there any other videos like this out there? About books in film?

@cannellfan
Duly noted. I fixed it in the description... but the credits will unfortunately remain as is.
exactly.
EllaTheYovillanx3 brought me here
@bagdadban
I've never heard of this one. I'll have to request it from the library.
@tobywmac
I show it in the English course I teach at Miami University.
@bryangreenland

@bryangreenland

Funny

I can't believe that you included Phineas and Ferb but you neglected this classic clip from Arthur: th-cam.com/video/xEEMuABtJmU/w-d-xo.html#t=1m41s
Great channel, check out one of my other favorites, Keepit1OO. Keep grinding!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
