YouTube

There's a real range of things out there, something for everybody. I really enjoyed March of the Librarians and some of the other library related videos, but, as an EastEnders fan I was impressed to see whole episodes on there. This runs in real time in the UK but we're 5 years behind here, so it's interesting to see lots of new faces on the show that will eventually show up on PBS. Great fun.

Here's a tribute to one of the show's longest cast members, Wendy Richard, who retired after many years with the series. If you liked the Britcom "Are You Being Served" you will recognize her as Miss Brahms.

This could have applications for teaching anything visual, sharing ideas for children's programming, demonstrating things like how to tell a story, how to merchandise, advertising the summer reading club--this technology really has great possibilities for libraries.
