Thing #20: YouTube

I love YouTube. I have found so many interesting things to watch--it's just a lot of fun. I have been using it for some time now. If you miss seeing something on TV that you wanted to catch, chances are you may find a bit of it on YouTube. Instead of just settling for a news sound byte, you can often see something in its entirety, like Barack Obama's most recent, riveting speech:



I think it would be great fun if libraries had YouTube videos on their websites. I saw one library site that did this. They had videos of storytellers that you could actually watch tell stories when viewing the OPAC. Short videos of programs and other events could be included to liven up the library's website and entice people to come to the library.
