Filmed during peak hours at the library, from the looks of it.

I know it's all in good fun but I kept recoiling in horror every time a book was run over or hurled out a window. Who's shushing the shushers?

If we were not, this would be an ironic porn video.
Perhaps it is.

Just kidding, I thought this was cute.

Watched the whole thing waiting for a line of book cases to get pushed over like dominoes, was disappointed. Perhaps that wasn't in the budget.

The awkward high five at the end was the stamp on the sign out card.

"I can't stand rocking when I'm in this place because I feel disgrace because you're all in my face." Hmm I guess it is a song about librarians in a way.
