About the Series

Whenever this team of buttoned-up librarians hears about a fantastic new book, they go wild. In each episode, buttons go flying as the MAD LIBrarians craft a new book title based on your suggestions and then—right before your very eyes—they act, sing, and shout that book out full-blast.

Come visit the library that can’t ever keep quiet…no matter how hard its terribly serious and wonderfully silly librarians may try.
