Nancy Pearl on Youtube



We can only assume that Nancy Pearl, besides being an excellent librarian, is a really good sport.
Her action figure appears in several YouTube videos. My favorite is this one, promoting the Montana Shared Catalog. I'm not even entirely sure what the Montana Shared Catalog is, but you don't have to know to enjoy the video.

Nancy Pearl has become a celebrity, based on her ability to suggest great books for readers. Will she branch out ala Martha Stewart to audiobooks, dvds and more?

What better personal service can a library offer than helping customers match reading material to their mood?
