The Seattle library is a beautiful building and one of the best in the nation. Love the high ceilings and openness of the building. The participants did a first class job of organizing this event and dancing to the music. Looks like they rehearsed a lot. When I get to Seattle, I have to visit this library. Thanks for the flash mob experience! What a cool event. The Seattle library is a beautiful building and one of the best in the nation. Love the high ceilings and openness of the building.

Thanks for the flash mob experience!

Although I have yet to see an actual flashmob. So did someone check out this book on the way out?

Loved the vitality of your library even BEFORE the music started. And, from what I could see, the overwhelming response was positive. My library's too small (and conservative) for this, but I'd participate if given a chance. GREAT way to show off the library as a vibrant part of the community. What fun. Terrific!

Must have brightened everyone's day except for the solitary dour Scandinavian here and there who was there to study, LOL.

I work in a Library and would definitely join in if we had a flash mob come in. Thank you for the smile and wonderful feeling of happiness that only music can bring out in people. That was fantastic.

My wife and I are both librarians and on our trip to Seattle last summer, SPL was our number 1 destination. We even got my brother (who lives there) to get his library card.

She said that she liked her libraries to be old and musty. I reminded her that all old and musty libraries were once shiny and new. Also, because it lasted only the length of the song, it was less distracting than the man talking to someone in his wristwatch named Brian who sat near me the other day. Jake,

So ill respectfully disagree with you and Ill stick to my peaceful, quiet library with classic art on the walls and normal colors on the floors. The way a library should be. And im 32 years old.

I tend to dance in stores when good songs come on without realizing it...and I sing too! LOL Probably to the detriment of other customers. That is the coolest thing ever. I'll have to visit that library if I get to Seattle. That looks AWESOME! i couldn’t find you, but did you dance along too?
