Yes, back when I lived in New Mexico and worked at a public library....<div><br><div>Our "Library Bookcart Precision [NOT!] Drill Team" marched in the county fair parade every year. Our drills resembled the "square dance" routines that the Sheriff's Posse did on horseback, but we added a few details like the "turn and shush the crowd" maneuver that made people laugh when we came by. Some of our Junior Library Volunteers carried a banner with our name on it--just in case someone missed the point--and we decorated the carts with mock books (styrofoam blocks covered with book jackets) and plastic flowers and anything else that caught our fancy each year. We wore matching library t-shirts and chose our own silly hats--the childrens librarian always wore a Dr. Seuss' Cat-in-the-Hat--and just generally had a good time with it. You would not believe how *noisy* a bunch of metal bookcarts rolling down Main Street can be!</div><div><br></div><div>Susanna de l'Essart</div><div>[now of Calontir, previously in the Outlands]</div><div><br><div><br><div><div>On Nov 11, 2009, at 12:00 PM, <a href="mailto:sca-librarians-request@lists.gallowglass.org">sca-librarians-request@lists.gallowglass.org</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">From: Anna Troy <<a href="mailto:owly3@yahoo.se">owly3@yahoo.se</a>></font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Subject: [Sca-librarians] Book Cart Drill Team?</font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">...</span></font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">I just discovered the existance of Book Cart Drill Team via the extra material in the documentary Hollywood Librarian and my jaw dropped to the floor! has any one of you participated in this?</font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Anna de Byxe</font></p> </blockquote></div><br></div></div></div></body></html>
