Comments on: Let’s Eat Peanut Butter http://agnosticmaybe.wordpress.com/2010/07/15/lets-eat-peanut-butter/ the neverending reference interview of life Fri, 17 May 2013 00:38:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Peggy http://agnosticmaybe.wordpress.com/2010/07/15/lets-eat-peanut-butter/#comment-965 Fri, 23 Jul 2010 14:39:34 +0000 https://agnosticmaybe.wordpress.com/2010/07/15/lets-eat-peanut-butter/#comment-965 Thanks for asking the question and describing the experience. If my kids send me a library link I know it has to be reaching beyond our normal audience. The Old Spice Guy is hip and cool and by extension so are libraries. (Even if I have never had a chance to ride a giraffe)

The response, if you’ve not seen it, is a video in which OSG talked up some of the benefits of libraries, which in turn started some larger conversations and discussions about the interactions of commercial ventures and libraries and what that means. Andy details the exchange here. [...]

Great NPR story on libraries – and it even mentions the Old Spice ad!

Kudos, Andy, for making it happen.

Great job on your part in getting the library “brand” noticed. And great commentary here. Yes, there are those in our profession (and just people in general) that will always find the gloom. Thanks for not being one of them!

I use libraries almost solely for books and journal articles. I think there’s nothing more soothing than poring over the stacks and finding new things to read.

It’s quiet, it’s calm, and best of all, you feel rich walking away with a giant stack of books for free. (Yes, I know taxes support libraries, but you pay the same whether you use the service or not, so it’s still kinda free.)

Hmm. Someone should consider stealing this idea.

Some people did not include the lack of chest hair in their critique, so don’t lump yourself in there.
