    The way your husband turns pages immediately triggered memories of my dad reading books to my siblings and me when we were little 🥰 Thank you so much for all you do! As a teacher myself, your videos relax my mind after long days at school, and the nostalgia is such a comfort, too. ❤

      That's a good memory! For me it was I think usually mother reading to us before bed - father turning book pages for me is instead usually him with a book of philosophy or a scientific magazine in bed, often falling asleep even before us. 😅 He's never been much for fiction, though there are a couple distinct exceptions so I do recall him at some point reading to us some short stories by one of his favourite authors.
      Overall it's, for me, kind of a comfort place, too, though; I loved going to the library as a child, and was capable of spending possibly hours there at one point, and there was a librarian who always seemed to have read at least one of the books in my selection, as good librarians are wont to be. 😉 But unlike the "us" character here, I was often making use of renewals. 😃

    I have had asmr my whole life..I remember vividly the sound of pages turning and plastic crinkles when I would visit my Aunt who was a librarian in my small hometown. It always described it felt like I could feel my hair growing...your videos always make me a little homesick for those sweet and unencumbered days of childhood. You remind me of her ..a lot. Your hands look like hers.

      Oh wow! What a way to put it!!!! You are exactly right. 💚 I think you have single-handedly figured out a way to describe a sensation that has been indescribable for so long. ✨✨✨ Thank you.

    This is so wonderful and feels nostalgic. I love the crackling sounds of the plastic ‘jackets’ on the library books 📚 I definitely experienced ASMR at my library when growing up. The librarians would always speak in a hushed voice and be so gentle when handling the books and stamping them. Happy times 😊

    From 1971 - 1973 I worked in my high school library during free periods. These videos really take me back. I used to get mesmerized by the librarian flipping through the card sorter and inserting new cards in the catalog drawers. I truly miss the card catalogs.

  • @Kesstiel
    @Kesstiel 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

    What a delightful debut for Mr. Meridian! The turned cuffs look very handsome on him, and he clearly paid attention to what makes for a good trigger. Your portion, especially with the book jackets, of course was stellar. You never miss, it's always so relaxing. And I love that cute flower ring!

    I was born in the mid 60s so I’m a 70s kid and this is so spot on. I could have lived in the library, it was my favorite place. For some reason yes the checking out stamping of the book was just everything. I also remember in college that I would go to study but I found my thoughts drifting off whenever someone rolled the cart by me and started restocking books on the shelves. It was almost like a lullaby or meditative feeling. Little did I know 30 or 40 years later, this feeling would actually become a known thing ASMR which I just learned existed a few days ago. Discovering I’m not the only kid who felt all these sensations makes me feel almost vindicated. I could never talk about it cause I thought I was some freak or something. I’m also in a vintage group and dress mostly from the 40s till early 60s and just discovered your channel. To say I’m happy is an understatement 😂. Amazing! Thank you!!

    THIS is the one I've been waiting for! I remember as a child the quietness of the library. The breathless anticipation as I waited for the sound of the plastic cover, the sliding book, and the pleasant beep. Then the stacking sounds. I didn't know then that it was ASMR. ❤❤❤

  • @Rocsanna
    @Rocsanna 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

    I love the sounds of page turning/paper! They're possibly my favourite ones in your videos. I practically know by heart your Travel Agency and Flamingo Hotel videos because I have watched them so many times. Those maps and the TripTik are something else! The crinkly record book in the perfume counter is another favourite, but this most recent video of yours is rapidly climbing to the top! I can almost feel the books, so immersive!

    • @MidModMeridianASMR

    Miss Mid Mod--- your historical props are THE VERY BEST! Takes me back in time. I am a 65 yr old guy, yet I STILL love your very soft female voice, AND, I confess that even your Tupperware and Avon videos weirdly soothe me. Don't ask why, I have no clue. I think the DILIGENCE of your Preparation in your semi historical videos, of ASMR, rank among the BEST available anywhere. I publicly thank you for your very apparent efforts in your production. BRAVO Miss Mod Meridian! Onward and Upward in your presentations! Life ONCE was like this. Yes it WAS!!! *SIGH*

    When I was young Librarians were angels. I would get tingles and goose bumps when getting help from them, or checking out a book. I’d want the checking out part to be 15 minutes long, instead of five.
    As a kid my mother would take my sister and I to the public library. Just the memory of what libraries were brings a nostalgic comfort. The card catalog. Also when I was in school I could always find the school library a pleasant and calming place to go, even a refuge in HS where I could have a respite and read a book.

    Whenever we moved, the 1st thing my husband did was take our boys to the library & introduce them to the librarian. "They will be spending a lot of time here after school & on weekends."
    That was before computers took over. I miss those days when our family were voracious readers.

    Well if she was born 2 years after Truman left office and it’s 1972, she’s a 17-year-old librarian who seems quite a bit older. Huh. Love the content and fantastic props … always figure the character is a very pleasant lady at least, oh, 62-65. So born maybe 1908, 1910 in this case. Though always modish and with a taste for new jewellery! (I was a library page around ‘72; cool job for a book nerd! Takes me back.)
