A Very Special Library Minute: Protecting Your Stuff
1:02
We interrupt our regularly scheduled Library Minute to bring you this special report about stolen items in the libraries and how only you can prevent forest fires (whoops strike that)... the loss of your "stuff."
Unfortunately there are unscrupulous people out there who take things who don't belong to them, even in libraries. Please keep an eye on your belongings at all times.

From libraryjournal.com:
In the "Library Minute" series, Matthew Harp crunches info about library procedures into entertaining minute-long videos hosted by bespectacled ASU librarian Anali Perry. Harp and colleagues "collaborate on ideas through online brainstorming sessions" and often improvise while shooting. "We came up with an infomercial theme on the spot while filming 'Get it @ ASU,'" he says. "Fun Things To Do at the Libraries" is one of his favorites, while "Checking Out Books," with vintage film stock and graphics including a can of Spam, is also a must-see.
