we stan libraries and librarians. truly one of the Few good things about planet earth.
Well thet do kind of kill alot of trees on this planet but other than that they're cool
@@zenzonerzz4789 nah eating meat and palm oil destroy way more trees than books
Im not denying that,that is true. There can be multiple readons why somethings is getting destroyed XD.
There is a lot of great things on Planet Earth.
@@zenzonerzz4789 paper companies kill trees, not librarians. librarians collect, manage and protect not only books, but also other media that has information, such as videos, audios, etc.
The librarians at my library: “We offer free audiobooks through Hoopla! Do not pay a corporation like Audible when Hoopla is free!!!”
Omg I use overdrive through my library and I've read more than 70 books without paying anything. Libraries are magic.
If you go to a huge branch the wait times are weeks long so I can see it both ways. As for me, physical books all the way!
anastasiagirl1342 Yesss!! I love Hoopla!!! ☺️
@@Buenanueva1 you right. I always put in a hold and find other books to read in the mean time
I use Hoopla and other library resources but they dont always have what I want.
And sometimes their vendors dont either.
I lived near a library when I was younger and whenever I visited I always thought the librarian hated me for some reason. I went regularly every school year and I always thought that she was being rude to me. When I went to that library for the last time my mom told her that we would be moving a few hours away and she said “I’m so glad I got to see you grow up” and was super nice to me when I took the time to talk with her. I feel so childish for just jumping to conclusions and thinking she disliked me for something I don’t even remember. We still keep and touch and she even mails me cards for my birthday and holidays!!💖
That's so sweet!
this is so cute
i love this so much!! & the illustrations have me melting bc they're so pure & perfect.
Same here, they were so well done!
Oh hey jesse.. i'm a subscriber
jessethereader I agree
JESSE! I love your videos!
hi jesse!! i watch your channel and i'm not surprised i've found u on a video about books!!
THIS! Working at a library I have so many people come in and say “this is so different from the libraries I grew up with!” And I’m like YES! The library’s purpose is to serve the community, we have changed with the times.
I love this video! Libraries are really great and Booktubers rarely discuss the need to keep these libraries alive. I'm a new Book Tuber and I'm gonna try and check out my local library because of this! Thank you!
That's awesome, welcome to booktube!
@@paramkore1101 Thank you!
Welcome!
@@annasmall1070 Thank you!
So positive! Welcome and good luck with your booktube journey
omg this is so important!! libraries are so important!! as a low-income person who loves to read i genuinely don't know what i would do without the library. thank you for using your platform for this kind of thing. ❤️
When I was a kid, I thought the library was magical. It felt almost like a place of worship to me (and I’m religious, so I’m not saying that lightly). So much possibility just waiting, patient but expectant, on the shelves. So many possible lives to slip into. The victory and defeat, the love and hate.... I’d mourn and celebrate with the characters in turn and it was like having the most reliable friends to turn to, no matter what.
When I was able to get a permit, I mostly got it and learned to drive so I could go to the library. It was my haven, my sanctuary.
I moved to a bigger town, but the main library is on the other side of town and the branch closer to me is open only on normal work hours during the week and Saturday morning from 9-12. It hurts me that so many people won’t get the opportunity to stroll through the shelves at their leisure. By 11 on a Saturday, the shelves are pretty depressing.
I’ve since gotten on several ebook lists that alert me when books are on sale for the day and I’ve had Audible for ten years, and I buy sparingly to increase a core collection (hardbacks; my vice) so I have a lot of books to choose from anyway. But it just... makes me sad that I don’t have a magic place like that now, to just commune with myself and all those adventures waiting to be picked up and embarked upon.
When I do go, I inevitably feel bad because I can afford to get some books here and there, and if I rent out that copy, that’s maybe someone’s shot at getting it. Maybe they hardly ever get to leave work an hour early, but because of a doctor’s appointment they have some time before closing. Or they’d pick it up on Saturday when they can sprint in with everyone else on their day off, but it’s not there because I’m camping out on it.
Now that I’m learning Spanish and would love some books that have an English and Spanish version, I’m going to be in there more. But I still feel a bit conflicted. I’d be swiping some middle schooler’s Spanish copy of Matilda or something. I wish our branch was less stressed, and then not only would we have more options without making an order, but we’d not feel conflicted.
I hope the next time I move, I find a town with a wonderful and gorgeous library that is well staffed and stocked. It would be a joy and a pleasure to roam the isles again like when I was a little girl. I know these magic places still exist and are even flourishing. I just have to stumble into the right wardrobe to find my way back to my literary Narnia, most likely when I least expect it to appear.
This was beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.
DO NOT feel bad about checking out books. You have no idea if that book has moved or not. And it not moving means it will probably get purged sooner rather then later. Besides, every circulation helps fund the library. Numbers mean a lot when it comes to funding.
Does your library have interloan? That's another option.
Ariel omg as a lover of libraries and a future librarian I am crying this is amazing 💗💗💗
Sara the Dreamer :O a fellow library science student? I’m going to be one of those too!!!
Woohooo current LIS student here too! 🤓
Hello my fellow colleagues!
I study Library and Information Science too!
Omg you have such a subject there?? That's so cool
I think what these librarians are getting at is: libraries are the physical centres of knowledge of a people, and as new methods of learning this knowledge become widespread, such a centre must adapt.
Great video and love the illustrations. They look like something you'd see in an illustrated book, which gives me all sorts of warm fuzzies inside.
Yeeess! As someone who’s worked in a library my entire working life, this is something I wish more people would realise. Libraries have and are evolving, we’re no longer that “hush hush” space; We’re a social arena, for people of all walks of life. At my library we do live music during lunch, every now and then, and that’s something I often tell others who might still have that old, narrow view of libraries to kind of “burst their bubble” a bit.
We literally do everything from making food, and hosting events to helping disabled people take of their jacket, or do some heavy investigating to try and find that book you loved when you were twelve 💙.
Ariel this is incredible 💕
emmmabooks thank you Emma 🙈
Librarians are some of the nicest, warmest people I know. Right up there with hair stylists and vocal teachers.
I was like "GOTTA CLICK CUZ LIBRARY/ARIEL" and I want to be a librarian so promotion of libraries are awesome to me
Can you add closed caption on this one? I love your channel but I really need closed caption to get what you're talking about because I'm deaf. Thanks!!
Time to read friend!
I adore this video with all of my heart. As a young person who wants to be a librarian, this honestly is the video that needs to get shared and spread like wildfire.
This is so cute
As a library science student THIS IS AWESOME
May I ask what exactly you study so what kind of subjects and topics you're dealing with? :)
@@singingthere6729 I study that too (but in another country I suppose)
I learn a lot about Information itself (how to find it and how to make it findable), libraries and how that system works, copyright, multimedia, marketing and pr. We also have many IT courses where we learn html, css and python.
We learn how to structure information (like in Thesauri) and of course we learn how to help users.
There is probably way much more but that is what popped into my head just now.
Library science student here as well!
Libraries have always been my refuge. If I could do my life over again, I would go into Library Science...but in the meantime, much respect to you librarians for all you do for the community. ❤️
You can still be a Librarian without a degree.
Source: I am a Technical Services and Circulation Librarian with only a HS diploma.
Take advantage of the library's electronic resources as well! Hoopla, Libby, Overdrive, etc. There's a ton of ebooks, audiobooks, and movies!
Can someone give the illustrator an award? This was beautifully done
tbh,librarians are one of the sweetest people in the world. Our librarian at school was actually one of our friends. She helped me in my studies and I promised her that I’ll study hard. I love her,our whole school loves her.
rest in peace ms.Nida, I promise that I’ll study hard and graduate college in the future
I worked in a library for an internship three years ago (I’m studying Librarianship and Information Science in Warsaw), so from the perspective of the librarian - I’M ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THIS VIDEO! Thank you so much for creating it ☁️💓📚
That’s awesome!!! Nice to see more ppl studying LIS
In eighth grade, I had moved in from abroad, so I ended up spending at the very least, half an hour every day at our school library... Would come in every day during lunch. After school, I went to the public library a couple of times, but truly our school library was my home. I learnt a lot of this that year. Thank you so, so much Mrs. F and Mrs. W. I truly adored you guys...
Ha, By the end of the year, I would recommend books to kids coming into the library, so the interview thing you mentioned. Some of my best memories. One day, maybe, I'll go back and volunteer or work in a library myself, in some capacity. It's too much of home for me not to.
Has a librarian, I say YES. (Also I don't know if you remember me, we met years ago has I was starting my librarian program and you encouraged me 😇 )
My local library is my happy place! I wish more people would see the value that a library holds!
I love my library. All the librarians know my son by name and talk to him. He just got his card today and checked out his first set of movies.
In the kids section at the library they a ton of toys for kids to play with while parents look at books, read or work on computers. One of our librarians said she loves when when she heard kids being loud because she hated the "quiet in the library" stigma.
I tell everyone to utilize their library. It's a dying resource. There are people who really need them and if people don't patronize them they go away.
On behalf of librarians, THANK YOU AND WE LOVE YOU, ARIEL!💕
As a public librarian, thank you for making this video! We are not just books, we are community resources! Also most libraries have their summer reading programs going on right now so sign up and support us! 😊😊♥️
This made me so happy. I love my local library so much! It feels like the whole city comes together in one place.
YES! I've noticed that libraries are a great place to build a community these days. I love libraries!
Libraries are so valuable. My friend group hangs out at the library because there’s so much stuff to do there or check out and take home.
I also realized how different libraries and how much they do are depending on the country and size of the city! Like my home library is in a German small town, they do have online services but very limited and also only a few events because its only a small town, but when I then moved to New Orleans in the US for a period of my life, there the library had any book I could think of, locations all over the city, an app, a lot of free online streaming stuff, free classes, like I did a journaling workshop, and you could even get free tickets to otherwise expensive museums through the library! SO amazing!
As someone who works at a library, this is all so true and such a great, informative video! Sometimes it's hard to get adults to come out to programs (often because they're not aware that they exist) and so it's nice to see the information that libraries are more than just books being spread!
This is such a cute video!! Especially with the illustrations it’s like a picture book in video form.
I do love my library. I am there at least 3 days a week, and pretty much everything I read these days come from there. ❤️ 📚 ❤️ #LibraryLove
Omg i clicked so fast. i got a library card last year and it was the best decision ever 💛
MsKaykay12 Yessss Im so happy for you ❤️ thank you for supporting your community ❤️
Librarians and libraries changed my life!! I have volunteered at a library for years and now I’m becoming one!!
Yes! This is amazing! I'm a person who volunteers at a library, I can tell you that the most important thing our librarians would want you to know, what a lot of the librarians mentioned here, is that libraries are definitely more than just books and a lot of people don't know about all of the resources they can provide.
the illustrations are ADORABLE
My first job was the library and somewhere I always go to for comfort so i loved this video so much. :)
What I discovered just recently from my library technician program was that on the library's website there are databases (which are basically just websites that need a subscription to access) they have a lot of information. All you need is a library card and you can access them. The ones in my library have general information which you can search articles for academic purposes, you can learn a new language, some others are subject specific. Just take a look at your library's website under the databases tab to see what you have, it could help a lot.
Ariel, you're lit.
Libraries are the best things 💖 and you can get a temporary library card if you are living in an area for a short amount of time! Im only living in my current place for the summer and I still got a library card and I’m so incredibly happy about it!
3:01 sounds so fun! :D
As someone who works for a library this made my heart sing. Though we don’t have a tie library in Liverpool, might have to sort that out.
i love the diversity in the animations omg i never/rarely see me (a hijabi) being drawn in videos like this !!
I had to work in a library at my old high school as a substitute, and it was the most grueling BUT gratifying work at the same time. I loved my 2-3 weeks as a librarian helper. I had to shelve books, organize books, put barcodes on them, and so much more. Towards the end, I was giving the stink eye to students who wouldn't put books away or put in the wrong spot. LOL. I think of that particular assignment quite fondly because the librarians were so nice as well.
I’m just getting back into my library for the first time since childhood and I love this so much ❤️
Excellent video! I'm a librarian with Fulton County Library in Atlanta. I really believe in the ideals of this video.
As a librarian I cosign this 💯! Gotta share w all my library peeps!
I'm super late to seeing this, but as someone who's just graduated from a Library & Information Technician program and recently gotten a job at my local public library, I appreciate this video so, so much!
I really enjoyed this video! I don't know if I mentioned this already, but I'm really liking the direction that you're taking with your channel.
I love libraries so much. I used to volunteer at my local library with homework help and I saw other volunteers who helped immigrants with their citizenship tests and with English language classes. Libraries are such an important part of our community and I love that the resources are free and accessible.
I work in a public library and it’s a fantastic job!
Yes to all this! I don't think people realize how many and what a wide variety of programs libraries have. I take my kids to free drop in activities at the library all the time, and my library has groups for people to meet and do things unrelated to books like knit, play board games, learn computer skills, etc. People really need to check out their local library's website and see how many great things they offer.
I’m studying to be a school librarian now. Love your video
As a librarian, I loved this so much ❤️
This. All of this. As a librarian I can’t love this hard enough!!!
Absolutely love this video! Great way to inform more people about the many great resources libraries have to offer!
I'm fortunate enough to work in a library, and I agree, they're AWESOME
I work in an academic library, so a little different to a public library, but this video is so accurate to what I see every day. I'm not a librarian so when I started working in the library I was like "why do we do this? It'snot really our responsibility?" And the only answer was "We just need to help people". Librarians are special people and we need them in the world.
Thank you for this video! I start work at a library soon and im really excited but a bit nervous as to what I should expect and this video helped!
Damn, I really want to be a librarian. I've wanted that for a few years now, but this video just made me really excited about it again.
im not a librarian but i did work in a library for a while and i wish people knew the pushing the books back on the shelves isnt actually as helpful as they think and we have to fix it so we can see the numbers, bless em for trying though!
this was so helpful, i’m 21 and dropped out of high school in 10th grade and now want a ged and I was stressed about buying all these materials but watching this reminded i’m sure they probably have what I need :)
I was a librarian for a month and stil appreciate them a lot.
The illustrations were more than amazingly done, but also clever and beautiful. Loved this video and made me want to visit a library asap.
The little ice cream cone trying to stay cool in the heat was so adorable, it made me cry. 🤧
This is fantastic, such a fabulous video with wonderful info and illustrations/animation!!
Omg I love this video so much. Libraries have been a blessing for my education. As a student with a small attention span, my public library puts me into a mindset to really get stuff done. The last time I was there, there was an older lady tutoring a younger woman on English and it was so cute :,)
I work as a youth coordinator at my library. And I love this video so much💕. I agree that a lot of people overlook the library thinking it is just books. These illustrations were adorable by the way
Thank you so much for this! I’m getting my masters degree in Library Science and I couldn’t be more excited! It’s a cool time to be a librarian-the field is changing and people would be surprised how awesome their public library can be. I’m hoping to work in a school library which has a lot of exciting aspects to it as well ☺️☺️
Libraries are awesome places, soo many resources available!
This is so cute! Libraries are such an important place and they offer so much!
I love Maddy's work! So excited to see a collaboration between the two of you.
I just moved to a new part of my city ( Omaha ) and am walking distance from a Library. Libby does e-books and audiobooks, Kanopy has free movie streaming. Both of those services just require a free library card.
I cannot love this enough! I love my local library!
You and Maddy are a dream team. What a stunning piece of content. Thank you.
BooksandLala thanks so much, Kayla 🙈 I’m so happy with how it turned out!!
The illustrations are sooooo CUTE, and I just love the basis of this video.
Ariel, this was great. So creative and fresh.
me, a librarian: *buckles up* o shit here we go
Wow!! This is such a heartwarming video with beautiful illustrations 😍
I never thought that I could love libraries more than I already do!
I'm an assistant librarian and I loved loved LOVED this!!! Thank you for making it.
I used my library to get the mortgage for my 1st home. Scanning & emailing all the paperwork to the lender. It was a great resource!
The first summer we moved to the middle of nowhere, I remember missing the library a lot as somewhere to get out the house (I couldn't drive) but then they had a library bus come round! Coolest. Invention. Ever.
It was just books, but it was also a chance for 19 year old me to have a chat with the "retired at 50 cos I'm rich" ladies and honestly, every little advice nugget was WISDOM 👌
Anna-May Moon woahhhh I love that story so much 😱
In my local library you have a library of things where you can borrow sewing machines and many other... well things, my library has a streaming service for tv series and music (just like Netflix and Spotify)! They also have a media centre with computers that have many expensive programs.
It is so sad that people always think about a book storage room when they hear the word library. They are so much more!
Love it! I am an educator and librarian. I feel just like these professionals.
I joined my library last summer and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I *love* my library!
I love the animations, they're so cute! I am also a huge fan of libraries, they have always been my safe space.
loved the illustrations
Such a beautiful way and idea to show us what our libraries offer! Thank you and Maddy Vian for taking the time to create meaningful art.
Omg. Just happened upon this video and 1) it's amazing, thank you for doing this and 2) I think you may have just changed my life ?? I am going into college and knew I wanted to work in a school or something similar so I was going to go for teaching (and still might) but I completely forgot that I could pursue being a librarian!!! This is definitely going to be something I look into! Thank you for inspiring me
This video is so perfect. Illustrations are adorable. I love this so much💛💛
They sound so cool! In my library people that work there are so stuck up ☹️
Hi Librarian here, such a great video 😍 people need to know more about the purpose of libraries and librarians 👏🏼👏🏼
This is one of my favorite videos now!! I just started working at the library, and all of this is so true! ♥️♥️
I love this and the mouse illustration is so cute 🐁
This is so wonderful! Both the stories and the illustrations. 🙌🏾
This is such an excellent video!! The illustrations/animations are perfect. Thank you for making it : )
The library I go to had a great lecture on the 1918 flu pandemic and next month there is one on the moon landing! I can't wait!
