I love to see libraries making videos and doing cool, creative things! Do we need a CMLE video??? Maybe we could gather some talented people from around the system and get some ideas!

I just love to see library people doing fun, creative, and interesting things!!

Check out this excellent library in Australia as they deliver an annual report in a truly unique style: song!

If anyone in CMLE wants to try a unique annual report, check in with us here at HQ!! We aren’t going to sing (really: you’re welcome for that!), but we will always be available to help you plan out some fun work to show off your achievements!

Day Twenty Six of the CMLE Summer Fun Library Tour!

I absolutely love the library profession! There is such a range of ideas, things to do, and interests and skills across the profession – it’s great to see!!

This video is a few years old now, but it makes me smile every time I see it. Whether or not Lady Gaga, or singing library people, are your personal interest – use this as a springboard for your own creativity! What can you do in your library to make it more fun, to show people what you do, or just to have something to talk about with other library people who will be interested in your ideas and projects? Dive in and try something new!! We are all about fun experiments here at CMLE HQ!!
