You too can You Tube!

I selected this short video, which captures the heart beat of Toronto sublimely...


This Library vid was a clip taken from the excellent spoof movie UHF by Weird Al Yankovic:

This short advertisement would be a great deal of fun to emulate for TPL, perhaps starring Dewey, our KidsSpace mascot. Now that YouTube has a Canadian version, it might be possible to highlight our showcase branches to students, newcomers and other Toronto residents who may not realize all TPL has to offer. However, it would have to be tastefully done and that isn't cheap. In our cash-strapped city, this might be a more cost efficient marketing ploy than the lame "The library isn't a fad" trapped-in-the-Sixities poster campaign.
