Please find above hugely entertaining footage of Get It Loud In Libraries at its very best with the Arts Council's/Xtaster Take It Away our with Stiff Dylans, Jessie and Crazydaze in December last year.
It's a brilliant snapshot of a superb teen-happy project in a great all ages venue.
You have to turn the other venue footage off to best hear Lancaster!

Get It Loud In Libraries is a unique award winning project - it is the current Love Libraries Award 2007 winner-designed to give people, especially young people who love music, a damn good time in a library; Lancaster Library if you are someone who cares for the small details.
If during post gig smiley time, those cool informed kids come back into libraries for great tunes, scored music, novels, maps to find places, quiet down time, and ye olde world wide web time, then just great, I mean really great, but the music’s the key thing.No age restrictions,no spilt beer, no smoke in your eyes, no rip-off ticket prices: just chilled chat with friends in an intimate space, an ad hoc near perfect DJ set from award winning indie disco Offbeat, or Same Teens from Manchester, and a couple of great quality breakthrough bands and a boogie down the book shelves.
Using great fresh modern rock and pop in an innovative, natural location as the key, it offers opportunities to kids from 5 to 65 to check out bands at close quarters in a book clad feelgood venue before they hit the proverbial big time.
Launched in May 2005, Get It Loud In Libraries aims to stage around 8-12 high profile gigs per year, pulling in people who haven’t been inside the library walls for years, if at all. Since conception, it’s estimated the programme has reached over 3,500 people...
It is hoped to bring in even more ace, worth-seeing bands in 2007 and 2008, illustrate the unique cool of libraries and roll the project out nationwide as was done successfully with the sell out Mr Hudson & the Library tour.The music library also launches fantastic competitions all year round to win top exclusive goodies for all library users.
Check in at the music desk for all the latest news and cool competitions.
Great bands that have already graced the library stage include:

This is an excerpt from the feature length film "Die Son! Die!" by Miles Perhower in association with elementary productions, starring the glorious Miss Halliwell. It is a concept concert album.. a film and an album.. it is a concert and a drama.. it is real life and fabrication. It is about the stalker and the stalked. It is the realisation of one man's madness. The music is blistering, the visuals engaging: it is the most watchable piece of art today. This is more than music and more than film. It is the post-modern Purple Rain. The Stourbridge Chronicle has already described it as "the most important milestone in cinematic history"; The New York Times' art correspondent said "If it was a hat, I would wear it"; Tony Wilson's ghost is reported to have whispered, "I wish I had thought of that". Entrepreneur and pop guru Alan Neilson wrote: "Isn't it great that Wispas are back." DIE SON! DIE! will be on general release at the end of August 2009. Best wishes from Miss H
