Shhhh! The librarians are busy prancing about...

As an aside, I recently discovered my library apparently offers the entire Criterion Collection for streaming. Hoot!

Cute, and they look like the ladies from my local town library. Freddie Mercury is smiling down on them.

Cute idea, but their singing is just terrible.

It's hard to sing on key while telling people "shush!"

I was actually quite surprised that their singing was that good given they aren't trained musicians. Cute, thanks for sharing!

I was offended when they started throwing books off the shelf but then I remembered that books are for use.

Heh, I had the same reaction until I realized the lyrics were "I culled the reference so it’s nice and tidy."

Oh gosh, the synchronized book truck routine at 1m20s is hilarious, I love it! I could totally see my public services group doing something like this.

Wooow the Dewey Decimators are amazing! Definitely way more well rehearsed. But you gotta love the original songs of the other teams.
