Stop Animation for Library Promotion

One digital librarian (Todd Frei, Wake County Public Library) has created a stop animation film to promote his library and is offering to tailor it for free for other libraries.

You gotta love the cooperative spirit of libraries!

The animation is fun and charming. A bored young woman is front and center. Then a series of drawings (recognizable characters from literature) appear on a white board behind her. I wonder who did the drawings.

As more and more fields merge, librarians will need to acquire more skills like these (digital production, film, radio, PR).

These are interesting times to be a librarian.
