This viral picture confirms libraries are vibrant places for learning and fun

Posted on Facebook by librarian Brittney Ash, the picture is a poem she found on Pinterest, that mimics Sir Mix-a-Lot’s popular track “Baby Got Back”.

Christine Brantley, a spokesperson for the public library, told BuzzFeed News Ash thought it would be a “great way to infuse fun into a library display”.

“Brittney likes to create displays for all ages that inspire laughter and draw people in to perhaps find something new to read that they might not have otherwise found,” she said.

“She wants to reinforce that libraries are vibrant places for learning and fun and dispel the old stereotype of libraries as drab places where you’re shushed for talking or laughing.”

Since posting a photo of the “big books” display on Facebook the library’s post has been shared more than 1,000 times.

“The response to the [Facebook post] has exceeded all expectations,” Brantley told BuzzFeed News.
