If there were a book called 101 Creative Things to do with Bookcarts (I dunno maybe there is?), then the National Library of Australia would definitely be in it. At their recent Christmas party they pulled into service a fleet of bookcarts as part of a choreographed rendition of Micheal Jackson’s Thriller, and the above video is a capture of the event.
It’s a very entertaining routine and judging by the whoops and cheers from the assembled librarians it’s one that won’t be forgotten for a while (and who said librarians were a boring bunch
)). One thing I’m wondering though – did the Health & Safety official leave the party early?

Excellent stuff, and if this is the kind of thing that rolls your trolley wheels then you’d better get yourself over to Kathryn Grennhill’s ‘Librarians Matter’ blog, where she links to a load more of this “Micheal Jackson meets Book Cart” revelry. Seems it’s a bit of a trend!
