One interesting and pertinent (to my position) library related video that I found was on George Washington's overdue library books. This former American president apparently borrowed 2 books from the New York Society Library in 1789 and never returned them. Allowing for inflation his overdue fees currently owed (as at time of reporting) amounted to $300, 000!
This makes our 25c per day, per item overdue fees (capped at $12) look positively paltry. I wonder if I can use this as an argument to support how fair our fees are in comparison?
What could our library make a video about?
With our library temporarily located in a shopping centre, whilst our new premises are being built, as part of the Chatswood Concourse development project, we could make videos on:
* the progress of the reopening of the library e.g. from the bare building being furnished, to the staff moving in and to the library's opening ceremony and first day of operation.
Or perhaps
* a real life tour of the new library and facilities available.
