0:00:02 > 0:00:04Nearly time for Dani's House.

0:00:04 > 0:00:07You're not watching TV - it rots your antennae.

0:00:07 > 0:00:12No, it doesn't. I watch loads of telly, and my antennae are tiptop.

0:00:12 > 0:00:17Today we're going to improve our minds by reading books instead.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19Boring.

0:00:28 > 0:00:29Oh!

0:00:29 > 0:00:33See? Reading books can be just as much fun as watching TV.

0:00:38 > 0:00:39Wait a minute...

0:00:48 > 0:00:52- Hi, my name's Dani, and this is my fantastic new...- Best friend, Jack.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Yeah, but... Oh, where was I?

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Your name's Dani, and I'm your best friend too, Sam.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01As I was saying, this is my fantastic new... Max!

0:01:01 > 0:01:04- I'm her brother, and actually it's... Ben?- What?

0:01:04 > 0:01:06Oh, it's our show.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Can you just zip it?! As I was saying, my name's Dani,

0:01:09 > 0:01:13and this is my fantastic new... SHOUTING

0:01:13 > 0:01:14I give up!

0:01:20 > 0:01:25Hello, world, I can't talk now. Next goal wins, and it's going to be mine.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Yeah(!) Get in.- Get out, get out!

0:01:28 > 0:01:30OK, I won't tell you the big news.

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Oh, no, not you - I was talking to the ball.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Yes! Ha-ha.- Ah...

0:01:34 > 0:01:35What big news?

0:01:36 > 0:01:40- They're shutting down the local library.- No.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42No, I mean, it's like my second home.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45It would be my first if they let me keep my toothbrush there.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49- This is the worst day ever. - Oh, come on, Sam, it's just

0:01:49 > 0:01:52a bunch of boring books, and the library is no fun to hang out in.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55It's stuffy, old-fashioned, and you've got to be totally silent.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59Zero decibels just ain't me.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03RUSTLING

0:02:03 > 0:02:04Shh.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09SCRATCHING

0:02:09 > 0:02:10Shhhhh!

0:02:14 > 0:02:15CREAKING

0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Shh!- Sorry.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Shh.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Shhhhhhhhh!

0:02:29 > 0:02:31- I admit it could do with modernising a bit.- A bit?!

0:02:31 > 0:02:35I bet they've still got maps in there that show the earth is flat.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38- All it needs is a lick of paint. - And some new books...

0:02:38 > 0:02:41- and an audio and DVD section. - And some comfy chairs.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Face it, Sam, that library is a relic.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46- It should be shut down. - SHE GASPS

0:02:46 > 0:02:48No, no, no, no, he didn't mean that.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Breathe. How would you feel if they told you that the

0:02:51 > 0:02:54- pizza place in town was closing down? - The pizza place is closing down?

0:02:54 > 0:02:57I can't live without my deep-crust pepperoni megamunch.

0:02:57 > 0:02:58Oh, I've got to stop them.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00No, no, Jack, I didn't mean...

0:03:00 > 0:03:03It's OK. Breathe, breathe.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05All these library books are overdue?

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Should have taken them back months ago.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Why are you smiling? You're going to have a massive fine.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12- I'm not taking them back. - I thought the whole point

0:03:12 > 0:03:15of a library is you take the books back.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17They're closing it down so I've generously decided

0:03:17 > 0:03:20- to look after them. - But that's stealing!

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Think of it more as a permanent loan.

0:03:24 > 0:03:25Let me get this straight.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Now you're telling me the pizza place isn't closing down.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32- I never said that it was.- You said what would I do if it closed down.

0:03:32 > 0:03:37Oh...if. What am I going to do with all this pepperoni?

0:03:37 > 0:03:40- Bring it with you on the protest march to the library?- Protest march?

0:03:40 > 0:03:42- Yeah, I'm going to march to Town Hall...- Cool.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44..and hand the council this letter begging them to keep it open.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48- What?! That's it?- Lame-o!

0:03:48 > 0:03:50- And you've got a better idea? - Yeah. If you feel that strongly,

0:03:50 > 0:03:53you need to make some noise, show them you mean business.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Yeah. All this letter's going to show them

0:03:55 > 0:03:58is that you've got nice handwriting...that smudges.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01I can't march to Town Hall and make some noise.

0:04:01 > 0:04:02People will look at me,

0:04:02 > 0:04:06- and I'm really shy. - Well, let me lead the protest.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08We won't leave until the library's saved.

0:04:08 > 0:04:09Won't they just throw us out?

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Not with what I've got planned.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13This is how you demonstrate.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15- What do we want? - To save our library.

0:04:15 > 0:04:16- When do we want it?- Now!

0:04:16 > 0:04:18This is so much more fun than writing a letter.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21- I'm loving the chains.- Yeah, once we clamp these babies

0:04:21 > 0:04:23to the library railings, there'll be no shifting us.

0:04:23 > 0:04:24What do we say, people?

0:04:24 > 0:04:28# We shall not We shall not be moved

0:04:28 > 0:04:32# We shall not We shall not be moved. #

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Guys, isn't moving what we should be doing?

0:04:34 > 0:04:36We need to get the library to protest before they close it.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Too right. I'll just get the key...

0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Erm... OK...- Here, let me.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Ah-ah. Ow!

0:04:44 > 0:04:48Looks like you've got a bit a bit snagged there, Sammy. Allow me.

0:04:49 > 0:04:54- Wait.- Ow!- Ow!- Ow!- Ow!

0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Not going to work.- No, no, Jack, put your left leg over.

0:04:57 > 0:05:02- OK.- Your left leg.- Left, left. - Ooh, sorry.- All right. OK.

0:05:02 > 0:05:03Like that?

0:05:03 > 0:05:06- You're kind of sitting on me.- Ow! That's not working.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08I can see it, I can get it.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10- ALL:- HELP!

0:05:10 > 0:05:14Yes? Ooh, that looks like fun.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Can I join in? - ALL:- NO!

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Ow!

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Dani, nose, nose!

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Ouch!

0:05:23 > 0:05:28Ben, what have I told you about playing with strangers?

0:05:28 > 0:05:30- We're not strange. - Yeah, right(!)

0:05:38 > 0:05:40Come on, Ben.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43OW!

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Now, then, you may read out my post.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Can't have me wearing out my eyes, can we?

0:05:48 > 0:05:50No, Max.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56- "Dear Sir." - I like that start, shows respect.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58"We note that you are in possession

0:05:58 > 0:06:01"of several hundred overdue library books and are liable to repay..."

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Oh, that's a big number.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07"If you don't make the payment within seven days, you will be

0:06:07 > 0:06:09"taken to court where you will face a fine or possible imprisonment."

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Max, it's over £400.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15Ha-ha, very funny. What's it really say?

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Just what I said. It's from a debt collection agency.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Max, you've really got to pay that library fine.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22With what?

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Oh, sure they say it's free when you borrow the books from them,

0:06:25 > 0:06:28but as soon as you forget to take it back,

0:06:28 > 0:06:30wham, you've got to pay big time.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33- What are you doing? - Building a barricade

0:06:33 > 0:06:35so the debt collectors can't find me.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37- BEEPING - You've got a text from them.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Delete it.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42- They've emailed you.- Don't open it.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45- RINGING - Nah...

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Er...that was my phone.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Oh, sorry.- That's your phone.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56These guys aren't going to give up.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58You could run, but you can't hide.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Actually, that's not bad.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Hiding might work.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08They'll never take me alive.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10- What did we want? - To save our library.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13- What did we get? - We won!

0:07:13 > 0:07:14Just proves what you can do

0:07:14 > 0:07:17when you get off your backside and make some noise.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19I can't believe you chained yourself to the Mayor.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21And then you gave that amazing speech.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25- If you take away our books, we'll take away your freedom.- Freedom!

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Thanks, Dani, I owe you one.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30DOORBELL

0:07:30 > 0:07:33I'm coming. You don't have to wear out the doorbell!

0:07:35 > 0:07:38You've got a letter from the Mayor's office, sign here.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41Ooh. We're going to jail. I knew we shouldn't have protested.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44- This is all your fault. - We're not going to jail.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47I knew that, I was just kidding.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49"I'm writing to confirm that following your passionate

0:07:49 > 0:07:52"speech to the council, we were so impressed with your vision

0:07:52 > 0:07:54"we've decided to re-house the library...

0:07:54 > 0:07:57- "in your house." - That can't be right.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00- You must have read it wrong. - But I said "if" I ran the library.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02I didn't mean I actually wanted the job.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Excuse me, but where would you like detective fiction?

0:08:05 > 0:08:06My house is the new library.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09"Running a library is a huge responsibility, so I will make

0:08:09 > 0:08:13"an official inspection in a few days to see if it is a success."

0:08:13 > 0:08:16I only wanted to save the library - I didn't want to move it into my house.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19- There is no way I am doing this.- "If visitor numbers have not improved,

0:08:19 > 0:08:23"then we will have no option but to close the library for good."

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Rock...hard place...

0:08:25 > 0:08:27- you.- This is so unfair.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30- I know.- Your house isn't the right place for a library.- I know.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32- And even if it was, you couldn't run it.- I know...

0:08:32 > 0:08:34What are you trying to say?

0:08:34 > 0:08:37That you're an actress and a singer, not a librarian.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39I'm versatile, I could do it. ..What do you think, Jack?

0:08:39 > 0:08:44- No, I couldn't run a library. - I meant me.- No, you couldn't either.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46I hate to hurry you, folks, but this is really heavy.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Sorry. Just put it down over there.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50I am going to prove you both wrong.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52I'm going to open the best library ever

0:08:52 > 0:08:57- and pass the Mayor's inspection. So who's with me?- Yeah, go on.- I'm in.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Can someone give me a hand with the rest?

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Time to unleash these bad boys.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06Thanks. I've got over 60 boxes in the lorry.

0:09:12 > 0:09:13Oh!

0:09:13 > 0:09:17I think my arms have stretched.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20This will definitely help me cut down on my TV viewing.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Where do I start with all these books?

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Hello, a friend in need of suggestions...

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Hmm, that's a tricky one.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32There's a great giraffe book in the wildlife section in the den.

0:09:32 > 0:09:37Or you can head over to the kitchen and check out these...

0:09:37 > 0:09:40RARR! You know, I'd read a lot more if every book was a pop-up.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42I don't need suggestions for books -

0:09:42 > 0:09:45I need ideas on how to organise this lot. Can't leave books lying around -

0:09:45 > 0:09:47someone will trip over and hurt themselves.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Oh, come on, it's easy enough to just step over them.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Yeah, I see what you mean.- Ow.

0:10:03 > 0:10:04And where's my milk?

0:10:04 > 0:10:07We need to turn this place into a well-run library that has a future.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Yeah, like that's going to happen(!)

0:10:09 > 0:10:12We can turn the kitchen into an internet cafe -

0:10:12 > 0:10:14laptops over here, lattes over there.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16- Great idea.- Ooh, we could put a pool table here.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18What's pool got to do with books?

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Nothing, I just really like playing pool.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23What if I could sit here with my laptop, sipping a latte

0:10:23 > 0:10:25and search the book I want online?

0:10:25 > 0:10:28What if I can sink the eight ball in the corner pocket?

0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Oh, missed.- We can stack a lot of the books upstairs,

0:10:32 > 0:10:34and when someone makes their online selection,

0:10:34 > 0:10:35one of us goes and gets it.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37That'll clear the hallway and doors, but what about the den?

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Well, we can use the sofa as a chill-out reading zone

0:10:40 > 0:10:43and the beanbags as a pre-reader zone.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47- Ooh, we could get a jukebox. - No!- Oh, come on, it'll be cool.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49People can boogie with their books.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51You can dance and read at the same time?

0:10:51 > 0:10:53It's a bit harder than I thought.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Right, you do the internet cafe, and you do the pre-readers,

0:10:55 > 0:10:58and I'll start sorting this lot out.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Right, let's get to work, people.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06KNOCKING

0:11:06 > 0:11:09- What's the password?- Overdue.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26I sent you to get some food.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28- This is food. - This is fruit - it doesn't count.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32Don't freak out, but I've got some bad news about the library.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34The debt collectors are here to collect my fines?

0:11:34 > 0:11:36No. Not only has Dani saved the library,

0:11:36 > 0:11:40the council have moved it here and they've put her in charge.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Awesome news.- But that means you now owe Dani the fine.

0:11:43 > 0:11:47It also means that the library computer is in this house.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49All I have to do is delete my record,

0:11:49 > 0:11:52and it'll be like I never existed.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58Jack, can you please finish the mural? We open in five minutes!

0:11:58 > 0:12:02Sorry, I just can't stop playing with these pop-ups. Boing!

0:12:02 > 0:12:06- And you've painted Little Red Riding Hood blue!- Oops.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10Maybe we could say she wants to keep up with the latest trend.

0:12:10 > 0:12:15- Blue is the new red. - And the Gingerbread Man is green.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17What if we called him the Cucumber Man instead?

0:12:17 > 0:12:20There isn't a fairytale called the Cucumber Man.

0:12:20 > 0:12:21Well, there should be.

0:12:29 > 0:12:33Once upon a time, there was a man made out of cucumber.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36His friends called him the Cucumber Man.

0:12:36 > 0:12:40Actually, my friends call me Dave.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43One day, he woke up and decided to go on an adventure.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47A lot of the time, I get called names like...Salad Freak.

0:12:47 > 0:12:51So he set off to try and find a vegetable garden.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53Oh, do I have to?

0:12:53 > 0:12:55It's getting late, and I really don't like venturing

0:12:55 > 0:12:57into the garden at night.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59And I'm scared of the carrots.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01They're mean bullies who can see in the dark.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03Would you put a sock in it?

0:13:03 > 0:13:06I don't wear socks - I'm a cucumber.

0:13:06 > 0:13:07Grrr!

0:13:15 > 0:13:17There's a slight problem with the internet cafe.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20- How slight?- Well, the internet access doesn't work

0:13:20 > 0:13:22and neither does the coffee machine.

0:13:22 > 0:13:23Great. We open in...four minutes

0:13:23 > 0:13:27and we've got a fairytale foul-up, we've got an internet cafe where

0:13:27 > 0:13:31the only thing you can access is the door, and a lucky dip pile of books.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Maybe I can be of assistance.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Miss Batstone!

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Miss Batstone used to run the old library before it closed down.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41And now they've made you head librarian instead.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44How are you getting on?

0:13:44 > 0:13:46We're having some teething problems,

0:13:46 > 0:13:50but this will be a great library when it opens in...

0:13:50 > 0:13:53- two minutes.- Well, if you don't need my help, I'll be on my way.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55No, no, no, no, please don't go. We could really do

0:13:55 > 0:13:57with your expert advice.

0:13:57 > 0:13:58Ask away.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01- What do you know about internet access?- Nothing.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Pre-reader zones?

0:14:03 > 0:14:06- We didn't have one.- Coffee machines?

0:14:06 > 0:14:10- I have a flask of tea. - Sorting books?

0:14:10 > 0:14:14Ah, well, I would recommend the Dewey Decimal Classification system.

0:14:14 > 0:14:18There are ten main categories, each divided into ten sub-categories.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22Great! You can do books. I'll go with you two.

0:14:22 > 0:14:23One minute, guys.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30- THUNDER OF FEET - Come to Jack's reading time!

0:14:30 > 0:14:33Right, you guys, I'm going to read you a story.

0:14:35 > 0:14:39Once upon a time, there was a girl called Little Blue Riding Hood.

0:14:39 > 0:14:44Now, some people might tell you her name is Little Red Riding Hood,

0:14:44 > 0:14:48but trust me, I've met her, and that hoodie is definitely blue.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50OK?

0:14:50 > 0:14:54Skinny latte and one chocolate muffin.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56Hi, Miss Batstone, can I get you something to...

0:14:56 > 0:14:59wear now Dani's stolen all your clothes.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02With great power comes great responsibility.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04And really bad dress sense. Seriously, Dani, tweed?

0:15:04 > 0:15:06That's going to itch.

0:15:06 > 0:15:07I'm fine.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10The internet cafe's really pulling in the punters.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13Yeah, my hot cakes are selling like hot cakes.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15- Are we online?- Online and in line.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20This is the best library in the world -

0:15:20 > 0:15:22we are going to storm that inspection.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25RARR!

0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Ooh, a long train!- Silence!

0:15:28 > 0:15:33Er...this is my area, and I control the volume.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35That loud enough for you?

0:15:35 > 0:15:39Aren't you going to do something about that racket?

0:15:40 > 0:15:44- RARR! - SCREAMING

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Just try and be a little less noisy, OK?

0:15:46 > 0:15:49Why? I thought this library was meant to be fun.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52- It is.- Well, then, tell that to Miss Uptight over there.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58- And why are you dressed like her? - Head librarian, got to look the part.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00You look like a tweed roll.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03I'll have you know that tweed is very sophisticated...

0:16:03 > 0:16:05and itchy.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07Mustn't scratch.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12See, I told you they'd be itchy.

0:16:12 > 0:16:13Doesn't bother me.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Those tickly little fibres not driving you mad?

0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Can't feel a thing.- Really?

0:16:19 > 0:16:23So you can't feel all those itches going, "Scratch me, scratch me!"

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Argh!

0:16:25 > 0:16:27- A-hem.- Yes, Miss Batstone.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30I would like permission to raise the fines.

0:16:30 > 0:16:34- Aren't they high enough already? - No, there are so many unpaid fines.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37If we make them higher, people will bring their books back faster.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41- OK, you can raise them.- Dani!

0:16:41 > 0:16:45Chewing gum whilst reading books is strictly prohibited.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Well done(!) Aren't you supposed

0:16:48 > 0:16:51to be encouraging people to read, not scaring them away?

0:16:51 > 0:16:56Chewing gum ruins books. Anyway, stop talking, this is a library.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Sam, wait!

0:16:58 > 0:17:02What colour shall we do Goldilocks's hair?

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Purple!

0:17:04 > 0:17:08- Purple? Good choice - I like your style.- Silence.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11I think we woke up the scary dragon.

0:17:11 > 0:17:16Yes, and if you don't quieten down, the dragon will eat you.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18ALL: Ooh!

0:17:21 > 0:17:23She's in charge of books,

0:17:23 > 0:17:26which means she's in charge of overdue books.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Which means you're in big trouble.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30I need someone to distract her while

0:17:30 > 0:17:34I sneak into the internet cafe and delete my record from the computer.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Good luck finding the fool for that mission.

0:17:37 > 0:17:38Max?

0:17:41 > 0:17:43- (Go on.- I'm scared.)

0:17:43 > 0:17:44Can I help you?

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Er... Hi.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49I'm Ben. I was... looking for a book.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Could you be more specific?

0:17:51 > 0:17:53We have more than one. What subject?

0:17:53 > 0:17:57- Stampers. I mean stamps.- Oh, you're interested in philately?

0:17:57 > 0:18:01- Sorry?- Philately.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03- It means stamp collecting. - What a stupid word...

0:18:05 > 0:18:08..which stamp collectors like me love.

0:18:08 > 0:18:09I'll see what I can find.

0:18:16 > 0:18:21Ooh, I'm on page 100 - where are you up to?

0:18:21 > 0:18:23I'm up to the second story.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Ha-ha, get it? Second story...

0:18:25 > 0:18:27What?

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Argh!

0:18:34 > 0:18:35I'm in.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38It's easy as taking candy from Ben.

0:18:38 > 0:18:39There's my record.

0:18:39 > 0:18:44Ooh, that is a big fine... which I won't be paying.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47Delete record - yes or no.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50Tricky one...not. Goodbye!

0:18:50 > 0:18:53What are you doing? You can't delete your record!

0:18:53 > 0:18:56I-I wasn't, I was...er...

0:18:56 > 0:18:58- cleaning the keyboard.- Huh?

0:18:58 > 0:19:00Now look what you've done!

0:19:00 > 0:19:02You've completely messed up the whole library catalogue.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05- I can fix it.- Go on, then.

0:19:05 > 0:19:06OK, I lied, I can't fix that.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08You are in big trouble.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Yes, what are you going to do about it?- Tell Miss Batstone.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14Please don't tell her - I'll do anything, anything.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16Well, the system's down, I've got to tell her.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18Yeah, well, she'll have to catch me first.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24It's due back in three weeks.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26I'll know all about stamp collecting

0:19:26 > 0:19:30by then, on top of everything I already know, which is loads.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32Can I have your library card, please?

0:19:32 > 0:19:33I don't have a library card.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36- What?- I'll bring it back. I promise.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39We don't lend out books on a promise.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Are you trying to steal this book? - No.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Ah, Sam, you've got customers waiting.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49I've got to fix the computer system,

0:19:49 > 0:19:51otherwise people can't find any of their books.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54Well, I've got the Mayor coming for the inspection soon.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56OK, I'll fix the system, you go and serve the customers.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00- Really? ..Sorry. Hi. - Cappuccino, please.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Er...

0:20:06 > 0:20:09How about a nice glass of water instead?

0:20:09 > 0:20:11One cappuccino coming right up.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21Well, we've got milk, haven't we?

0:20:21 > 0:20:23I might just go with the glass of water.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25No. No, no, no, no.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27You asked for a cappuccino, you are getting a cappuccino.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30I need your help to catch a book thief.

0:20:30 > 0:20:31Self-service.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35So what did this book thief look like, then?

0:20:35 > 0:20:39He was a shifty-looking creature with dark, scruffy hair

0:20:39 > 0:20:42and he hadn't brushed his teeth.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44Ooh, and his name was Ben.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46I know exactly who you're looking for.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Argh!

0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Got him.- It was all his idea. I had to distract you so he could delete

0:20:51 > 0:20:53his library fines from the computer.

0:20:53 > 0:20:57- Thanks, Ben. - Sorry, Max, I couldn't help it.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59She's got really scary eyes.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Fortunately for you two, I don't have the authority to punish you,

0:21:02 > 0:21:07but unfortunately for you, I know someone who does.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Give back the overdue books right now

0:21:09 > 0:21:12while I think of a suitable punishment.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14There's been an incident in the pre-reader zone.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Quick, call the library cops!

0:21:20 > 0:21:23This is how we found 'em, dead as a dictionary.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28It's got murder written all over it.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Cause of death?

0:21:30 > 0:21:33- Broken spine.- Any suspects?

0:21:33 > 0:21:36Yes, we caught this guy red-handed.

0:21:36 > 0:21:37I just dropped it, it was an accident.

0:21:37 > 0:21:42- I didn't mean to do any damage.- Save your excuses for the jury. Book him.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46Oh, no, you've got to believe me, you've got to believe me.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49- What a mess. - There's paint everywhere.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52I was just getting the kids to help me finish the mural,

0:21:52 > 0:21:54and it got a bit out of hand.

0:21:54 > 0:21:57And onto these rare books - what are they doing in here?

0:21:57 > 0:21:59There's a problem with the computer system -

0:21:59 > 0:22:02- all the books have got mixed up. - I'm sure we can sort it out.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05And what will you do when someone spills coffee on one of the books?

0:22:05 > 0:22:06Oh, the kids don't drink coffee,

0:22:06 > 0:22:09although I should probably ban juice cartons.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11Accidents are bound to happen unless you shut down the internet cafe

0:22:11 > 0:22:15- and the pied painter here.- What? - You can't close down the cafe.

0:22:15 > 0:22:16- The pre-readers is staying. - Let's not argue about this.

0:22:16 > 0:22:20No, let's. You should fire her - she's spoiling everything.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23If anyone should be fired, it's you two incompetents.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25- Incompetents?- How dare you?!

0:22:25 > 0:22:27THEY SHOUT

0:22:27 > 0:22:31Silence! The Mayor will be here any minute to inspect the library,

0:22:31 > 0:22:35- which by the way is a total disaster. - Come on, I wouldn't say total.

0:22:35 > 0:22:36BANG!

0:22:38 > 0:22:40The coffee machine exploded.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42OK, now it's a total disaster.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45I'm sure there's a way to combine your organisation skills

0:22:45 > 0:22:47with your creative ideas to get this library back on track.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50The books are mixed up all over the library. I won't be able

0:22:50 > 0:22:53to get around quick enough to sort them before the Mayor gets here.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55I've got an idea.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Clean the books, clean the books.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23Hey, you two.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26You didn't think I'd forgotten about your punishment, did you?

0:23:26 > 0:23:29No, I just thought you'd decided to forgive me,

0:23:29 > 0:23:34because that's the sort of kind, generous, loving person you are.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Dream on, blinky boy. You've wrecked the filing systems, you caused chaos

0:23:37 > 0:23:42throughout the library and you tried to keep the overdue books.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44- Yeah, there is that, I suppose. - Well,

0:23:44 > 0:23:48you'll be very pleased to know I've thought of a really good punishment

0:23:48 > 0:23:51and a way to pay off the overdue book debts.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57Put these on - you're going to be bookworms.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59DOORBELL

0:23:59 > 0:24:03Now let me show you our lovely library.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Well, I'll be the judge of that. Lead on, young lady.

0:24:05 > 0:24:10And here we have our internet cafe. Shall I get you a fresh coffee?

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Oh, yes, please.

0:24:12 > 0:24:17- (It's not working.)- While we're waiting, let me show you our fully

0:24:17 > 0:24:20searchable database of all the books we have here in the library.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22That's impressive.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Do you mind if I have a go?

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Go for it.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29- (What's going on?- It's not working.) - You have a copy

0:24:29 > 0:24:33of The Mayor Of Casterbridge, my favourite book -

0:24:33 > 0:24:36- will it be easy to find? - (Who knows?)

0:24:36 > 0:24:40Of course! Miss Batstone will be able to find it easy.

0:24:40 > 0:24:46She uses the...Dewey Decimal Classification system...

0:24:46 > 0:24:48and roller-blades.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50CLANG!

0:24:50 > 0:24:52What was that noise?

0:24:52 > 0:24:58That noise was indicating that the audio books are now available.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00There we go.

0:25:03 > 0:25:07Oh, this is very good. We never had this in the old library.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13- (SHOUTING)- Milk and sug...ar?

0:25:15 > 0:25:16Yes, don't mind if I do.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24- Mmm.- Good.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31And here we have The Mayor Of Casterbridge.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34And here it is - what a well-organised system.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36And over here is our pre-readers zone,

0:25:36 > 0:25:39where the kids can play with the bookworms.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Bookworms don't look very happy.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45Oh, I can assure you they're fine.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50What are you reading, young man?

0:25:50 > 0:25:52War And Peace by this dude called Tolstoy.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55- BOTH:- Really? - Yeah.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58Well, I was looking for a pop-up book, but I found this instead.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00I never knew reading could be so much fun.

0:26:00 > 0:26:04Ah, thank you.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06It's due back in three weeks.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10- Congratulations, Dani, you've built a fine library here.- Thanks!

0:26:10 > 0:26:13I must confess I was expecting a bit of a shambles.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17We'd never let that happen.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19But still I'm going to have to recommend

0:26:19 > 0:26:21that this library be closed.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23What?

0:26:23 > 0:26:25But I just got into books - what, now you want to take them away?

0:26:25 > 0:26:27You can't close us down - we're a success.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Yes, so much so

0:26:29 > 0:26:34that there simply isn't room in your house for all the many visitors.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Wait, I've got an idea.

0:26:36 > 0:26:40Why don't we just modernise the old library?

0:26:40 > 0:26:42Working in Dani's library,

0:26:42 > 0:26:45I've realised it doesn't have to be a choice between the old and new.

0:26:45 > 0:26:50We can mix the two together and get the best out of both worlds.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52We could even hire out roller-blades

0:26:52 > 0:26:56- so people could find their books faster.- Book-blading. I love it.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58So what do you say, Mr Mayor?

0:26:58 > 0:27:01Well...

0:27:01 > 0:27:02I think...

0:27:04 > 0:27:06..let's do it!

0:27:06 > 0:27:08But first of all,

0:27:08 > 0:27:11I must decide which of you two is to be head librarian.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14Oh, this badge is only on loan.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Thank you, Dani.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Oh, and by the way, you can keep

0:27:19 > 0:27:22the bookworms until they've paid off their fine.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24THEY SCREAM

0:27:25 > 0:27:29Ah, that was a wonderful book. What's yours like?

0:27:29 > 0:27:32- Delicious - want a bite? - You can't eat the books!

0:27:32 > 0:27:35Yes, you can. They're a bit chewy, but once

0:27:35 > 0:27:39you get past the hard outer coating, they've got a really soft centre.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48That's amazing!

0:27:51 > 0:27:55Slow down - you've got to savour a good book.
