The sixth annual Library Book Cart Drill Team Championship was held Sunday afternoon in Washington, DC. It is just one of the many events held during American Library Association‘s annual conference. According to this report in the Washington Post, “Drill teams made up of library workers will perform themed dance routines with costumes and decorated book carts. This year’s competitors are from Delaware; Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania; the University of Pittsburgh; Midlothian, Texas; and Roselle, N.J.”

The library association’s site claims, “You don’t have to perform to enjoy the fun as librarians from around the country strut their stuff in choreographed dance routines featuring book carts! The teams design creative costumes for themselves and their carts, so this Championship is always a sight to behold.”

For a taste of the sport, below is a video of the winners of the 2008 Championship competition—the “Well Stacked Sci-Brarians” from the Santa Monica Public Library performing “Thriller”.
