Book Cart Drill Team

(YouTube Link)

The American Library Association (ALA) just finished its annual conference in Chicago. This is a video of the winners of the book cart drill team competition. These librarians from the Omaha Public Library chose a 'Ride of the Valkyries' theme.

Alas, I missed ALA this year. But as a faithfully married man, I shouldn't be availing myself of its bacchanal pleasures anyway.

Amusing, but the others must have been really bad if this team won. Or the scoring was based solely on the idea rather than on technique.

Like a good librarian, I just confirmed with other sources, including the ALA Website:

And the Oak Park Public Library website:
