Columbus Public Library video one of five finalists in Thomson Gale contest

A Columbus Public Library Board member and his son recently produced and uploaded to YouTube a great short video promoting their library. It’s incredibly creative, using a “pop-up book” theme. This is a super example of what you can accomplish with local talent and expertise! Others must think so too, as this video is one of five finalists in a Thomson Gale contest challenging folks to “[m]ake a video no shorter than 30 seconds but no longer than two minutes professing a deep, abiding love of libraries, librarians and those who depend on them.” You can view additional submissions to the contest in the YouTube Librareo Group. Description: A pop-up book combining digital still images and live footage in 3 dimensional space. The submission is based on a theme of discovering a new world at the Columbus Public Library.
