After organizing our bookshelf almost a year ago (youtu.be my wife and I (Sean Ohlenkamp) decided to take it to the next level. We spent many sleepless nights moving, stacking, and animating books at Type bookstore in Toronto (883 Queen Street West, (416) 366-8973). Everything you see here can be purchased at Type Books. Grayson Matthews (www.graysonmatthews.com generously composed the beautiful, custom music. You can download it here: itunes.apple.com But none of it could have been done without all the volunteer hands who shelved and reshelved books all night, every night. A special thanks goes out to: Lisa Blonder Ohlenkamp Mike Takasaki Hannah Charlick Liz Walker Andrew Carty Filipe Da Luz Ruth Ann Cachero Justin Turco Adam Tuck Michael Groppo Curtis Denomme Shannon Farrell Steffi Raike Jean Marc Douville Mikhail Ferrara Clayton Vrenjak Rob Sturch Marie Rupolo Nery Orellana Mike Greco William Chong Terri Vegso Michael Leishman Emma Leishman Mike Kolberg Ryan Speziale Natalie Mathers So who wants to help us do the Library of Congress next?

@BoogsterSU2 Twighlt Sparkle?
What starts with a T and an S, who uses a library as her home, and is researching about friendship and science?
Hint: If you love books, then you know it!
Made me realise exactly what I love about books. It felt like I was watching old friends have a good time.
The value of a book is more then it’s content.
Incredible!
Beautiful!!!
your making me waterworks over here!
How nice!
@crazedadman I’ve sent you a private message
@javitoo33ar It will not allow you to post any URLs in the comment section because YouTube thinks it is spam. Search for my name (Sean Ohlenkamp) on Google and just email me through my webpage. Thank you so much!!!
@crazedadman I’m trying to paste the information in this place but it doesn’t allow me
@javitoo33ar Very cool! Can you give me any more information about the program it was on? Station? Time? I’d love to get a copy!
I worked as a bookshelver for a while at B & N and Borders. And three years at a large library.
That looked like a *lot* of work. I can’t even guess how long it took.
All those people volunteered to move those? Amazing.
Absolutely fantastic…
Purely amazing movie…
fantastique … je pensai à faire ce genre d’animation ces derniers temps, et je rêvais justement de faire ce genre de chose … c’est donc fait. bravo, incroyable. Merci pour ce moment d’animation.
@17songs2getoverhim Poignantly said.
I want to come to Toronto just to be able to shop in your store!
Also, thanks for the link to the song. I just bought it from iTunes. What a lovely and labor-intensive video. I’ll be watching this one again.
@17songs2getoverhim yeah!
OMG why…?
An amazing way to get in the soul of books. A very funny way to show your bookshop to the world. In Buenos Aires it was recently shown this night on tv at main night news program, as a creative way for selling and spending time with imagination.
Thank you so much, cause books are alive and make us dream and fly always !
Love it,,,,,I’ve never been but next time in TO, I will make it a point to stop in! Really spectacular!
Ever seen a Kindle do that?
This is beautiful.
THERE’S NOTHING QUITE LIKE A REAL BOOK!!!
SO EDUCATIONAL ^_^
lmao!
Offensive? This is the realest hip hop song if there ever was one. I tell my wife this shit all the time, “read a fuckin book, bitch.” “Raise ya fuckin kids, damn.” The truth hurts, thats what it is….
Wear deodorant nigga!!
It’s not offensive to ‘black people’, it’s offensive to ‘gangstas’
@Megamean09 *brohoof*
best thing I’ve come across all day
Man, who gives a shit if someone’s offended by this?
The fact that the attitudes the song discourages are so pervasive in the mid-low class that they’re stereotypes is a disgrace to booth.
Sure, they don’t define the black race as a whole, but they certainly do for a good chunk of their poor majority.
Now, I don’t give a fuck if someone comments me saying they’re the exception, get the fuck out of your house and ask yourself if your entire neighborhood is the exception.
Is it?
@TheMamaluigi2 REAL MEN are bronies. *brohoofs*
Hella funny “)
Read a mutha fuckin’ book
Awesome
OKAY!!!!!

“CHECK IT OUT!! My friend and I made this remix of Party Rock Anthem, called, Read A Book Anthem (R.A.B.A) our school district asked us to do it. Go on my channel to listen to it!!”
If you press the number 4 x100 times and you still don’t want to read a book, there is something wrong with you!
I feel the need to read a book after listening to this…
hmmm…..i think i’m gonna go read a book….or spend more time on youtube
@virgo2014 Didn’t you get tired of this shitty comment already?
read the book nigga..!!cool video..!!
Dumbest shit I ever heard.
I am SOOOOOOOOO damn glad that someone made a song like this! Come on, all you hear is kill death and break the law. Thank YOU!!!
