Just in case you want to be a Cool Librarian too, here’s some information about a YouTube competition for the best love song about a favourite book and/or author.
Why should you tell your library community about this? Well, the winner gets to divide the USD5000 with a library of his or her choice.
Gale announces a YouTube video contest in which songwriters perform love songs to their favorite book or author. The winning entrant will split a $5,000 Grand Prize with a library of his or her choice. The contest encourages book lovers to literally sing and record the praises of their favorite books and authors.

The Books & Authors songwriting competition participants may belt out their abiding love for books and/or authors with original lyrics, using original or public domain music. Find complete details at www.gale.com/librareo. Entrants must load their videos to the librareo group on YouTube (www.youtube.com/group/LIBRAREO) before midnight EST on Saturday, May 31, 2008.

So far there are only five videos, and maybe you can do better musically than the Dewey Deciband (Meet the Dewey Deciband ), but I doubt that you’ll be able to have more fun.
