“There are no cookies in the library”

Library and Information week is one month away.

Its official - libraries are for everyone! Even children! Only if you are Australian though :( Sorry Cookie Monster …

    What’s either spooky or funny is that I *remember* that skit! (and no, not from YouTube).

    Hey, my library has cookies. And milk. And various kinds of coffees and teas. What kind of antiquated library is that there on Sesame Street? ;-)

    Adam, its amazing what lurks in the back of the mind from childhood. I had ‘Put Down the Ducky’ in me head all day, just from seeing 2 secs of the clip (without sound - was at work where today is brought to you by the word ’shush!’)!

    Kimananda, I know! They haven’t improved much though. There is annoying new Sesame Street song sung by that red excuse for a dishcloth, Elmo: “Where are the computers in your neighbourhood?”. A puppet wearing a shapeless cardigan & Dame Edna glasses on a string is greeted as being Miss Blah-Blah who works in the li-brar-y. Of course all librarians are crazy cardigan wearing spinsters. Mind you she does say that the library is very taining! Oh dear …

    ROFL - lovely vlog. A little bit of cookie monster in every little kid. I still got mine after all these years.

    I thought with a ref to cookies you were going to carry on some illuminated discussion about the like-named web technology and how ironically important it is to search systems in libraries. :)
