The video recounts the events between September 9 to October 15, 2016, "when the Indiana Office of Tourism Development held a 3,200-mile torch relay through all 92 Indiana counties. Carried by over 2,200 Hoosier torchbearers, the torch began the journey in Corydon and concluded in Indianapolis during the Indiana Bicentennial Commission's Hoosier homecoming celebration. This documentary serves to commemorate the event for all future Hoosier generations."  (DVD insert, back cover.)

Look for the DVD (there are two copies) in our media alcove.  Maybe "Flat" Dovydas Balčiūnas will be there to help (click photo below to enlarge).

Getting Closer to a Million Views

The MPL YouTube Channel  is getting closer to a million viewings.  Today's Mooresville-Decatur Times had a nice article about it.

The channel has many playlists for different types of videos (book trailers, program/promo trailers, historical videos, music videos, live action, sing-alongs, readalouds, puppet shows, and much more).  Browse our playlists to watch the videos, or just trawl through our video list to pick-and-choose from among our (currently) 730 uploads.

We begin most of our videos with production logos, starting usually with the library's 100th anniversary logo, followed by our Cauli Le Chat clip.

This production clip was adapted from a share-alike video called Animal Motion Animation, by Megan Goodson (2010).
