a video that explains their new curbside service in 1989 style !

Ice Ice Baby is from the summer of 1990.

I can’t believe how adorable and clear this is! Probably cheap to produce too.

Loved it! And hopefully it falls under the various fair use rules of copyright, because I hear Queen doesn’t like when you borrow their bass riff. :wink:

Thanks! Getting it fixed. I did look this up and the search result says 1989… but maybe that’s when it was recorded? I any event, I’ve asked for an edit. Thanks.

I could be wrong. Or rather, Wikipedia could be, as it’s what I checked.

I’m thrilled that my city’s library is doing this. And I wonder if the puppets are a tribute to local guy Tom Tichenor. When I was a kid I saw several of his puppet shows at the downtown library.

In fact I still have a copy of his book Sir Patches & The Dragon around here somewhere. I was a bit tongue-tied when I met him and we talked about it.

This is my second favorite squirrel puppet based local news thing in the past few years. https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970204653604577249391251534690
