Library as perfect partner meme from @cityofmarionlibraries

The video uses a popular social media trend set to the song "Smokin Out The Window." A series of text overlays ask questions as if to a romantic partner (e.g., "Does he know your favourite genres?"). Each question is answered by a librarian nodding affirmatively, timed with the song's lyric "We do," humorously personifying the library as the perfect partner for a book lover through a montage of different scenes.
