Okay. 😀😀

[@virginiaely9928]

Oh my gosh! I worked in a library in the 80s, right as they were switching to computers. I was probably one of the last to use one of those card sorters. I’d forgotten about them. What a nostalgia trip!

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

Ha! That's great! I'm glad you enjoyed some old memories. Have you seen my other library video? I used the sorter even more in that one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYSkmmCYnZKcrLc

Hi, what are those card sorters exactly ? I'm from the late 90s 😅

[@KH-nt7ej]

We called them the card catalog. Only way to find a book when I went to school. And the drawers were really long! Lol. Ah the good old days.

[@Valkyriegrl]

The way within the first few seconds I’m instantly transported to the smell of old books, people quietly moving through the stacks, and turning pages is wonderful. Great work as always!

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

I’m so happy you can smell the books. That’s the only thing missing from KZbin. 📚📚📚☺️

[@violetb2667]

[@tiapina7048]

Congratulations!

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

That is awesome! Congratulations!! You’ll have to send me some new ideas that I could convert to an analog library-typical conversations, behind the scenes, training. ☺️☺️

[@arielx31]

Okay, but libraries have a particular smell to them that I LOVE. I miss the cards and having to search for your books. 😭 whenever I go home, I'm gonna have to go to the public library and just... sit there and read. I miss the days of analog... No technology No nothing. Just peace and living in the moment. 😭 Oh noooo, I'm getting sentimental! Love, love, love, this video

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

😂😂 Listen, I feel you, girl. If only I could time travel. ✨✨✨

[@GaslightingIsEvil]

The downside was no asmr videos to fall asleep to! Take the good with the badi guess 😁

[@eclec-Tia]

I grew up with a librarian grandmother (during 60-70s) and all those sounds are my favorite ASMR triggers since my childhood. Thank you for another wonderful video!

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

That's wonderful. I’m glad I could bring back some memories. ☺️☺️☺️

[@Okbroski]

Me too. I was born in 1910, ah the days. My grandmother was also an old school librarian. I used to experience asmr tingles way back in the early 1920’s and never knew what it was. Until 100+ years of life have passed me by. (Typed by my granddaughter Sheryl who is 60)

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

Kids today will never know the excitement of a card catalog /dewey decimal system❤

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

😂😂😂 Oh, the excitement!! I loved the card catalog but hated the stacks. The section of books I was planning to browse through was always mysteriously missing.

[@catherine5345]

The library of my childhood and teens/college years was the site of my first and most common asmr experience. Used to enjoy the sounds of people whispering there, enhanced by the acoustics of the huge rooms. Also loved the feeling of the treasure hunt there with the card catalog and writing down the letters/numbers before going to find the books on the shelves. Then zeroing in on the perfect book from among those there on that topic for nonfiction books. For fiction, I recall the excitement of finding the exact title I was looking for and being able to take it home for free to immerse myself in and enjoy. Thank you so much for this video 😊

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

You’re very welcome, Catherine. I always found the hush and the smells of libraries to be therapeutic.

[@00juls00]

My grandmothers volunteered at my school’s library, when I was a kid. I spent many an afternoon waiting around for them to be done before I could go home. Thank you for gifting me with a little trip to see them one more time. I had so many feels on this one.

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

🥰😌

[@dreapeters]

Part of the fun of going to the library as a kid was finding the books you needed in the card catalog. My mom treated it like a game. I miss the catalogs!

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

Yes, there’s something about analog sensory experiences. The feel, the sounds, the smells.

[@msparkersart7520]

Oooh, I LOVE the whispers! I mean, I love ALL of your videos, but you have a perfectly tingly whisper ❤

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

Oh thank you! 💚💚

[@GeekFilter]

I miss the feel of card catalogs… not so much difficulty looking things up in them! The library feels as comfortable as home.

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

[@emilykay115]

I'm so glad I waited to watch this today! Need something great to settle down to after a great game and lions victory. Detroit is quite noisy tonight :) This video is great with all the whispers and page turning. I'm so glad you realized how soothing and wonderful your voice is to give is streams of tingles to your carefully thought out videos.

[@susangridley8354]

My little town has a small 1960s library that I have patronized for 40 years. It's changed so much over the years and lost much of it's small town vintage charm. Most of the changes involved getting rid of space for books in favor of computers and DVDs, etc. They're currently building a new one which will be barely 200 sq ft bigger and has even less space devoted to actual books and more to computers, meeting spaces, etc. I'm just an old biddy I guess cause in my mind libraries mean books and books and books! Love, love, love your library videos! Thank you so much for the time and effort and attention to detail. 😍😍😍

[@GaslightingIsEvil]

This makes me sad as it makes me wonder if they're slowly phasing out physical books. I guess the public won't throw away their own books but if libraries become completely electronic it would mean no smell of (old) books

[@narna3133]

This is my favourite video of all time. Please do more whispered videos explaining things 😍😍😍

[@opalescent1990]

Ohhhhhh myyyyyyy your whispers are AMAZING! I woke up to the new video notification and immediately started playing it. My boyfriend who was still asleep in bed rolled over and was like “what in the world are you watching?” Just the best asmrtist EVER

[@morticia981]

Holy heck, you have the card catalog, organizer, and everything!

[@theobolt250]

This is double tingles. First of the soft swishy sounds with the paper stuff and the whispers, but then also the library nostalgia. As a child and young man I was just in love with the local library. Thank you so much.

[@Rocsanna]

Your videos are art! The amount of effort and thought you put into creating such an authentic atmosphere is unparalleled. It’s all so satisfying, and the tingles are out of this world!

[@MidPriestess]

Books AND whispering?? What a treat 😮

[@silverfeigner]

When I was in college, I worked in the library at my university and we had to deal with the cards in the card catalog. The library was converting the books that were Dewey Decimal into Library of Congress numbers. My job was going through the cards and pulling them out of the drawers to get rid of them. Seeing you filing the cards brings me back to 2001-2005.

[@amandaboyce2670]

[@dollydevilish22]

I love your soft spoken and love your whisper even more!! I fear if you dont make another whispered video i may never sleep again 😭

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

I will try! I need to find a realistic scenario in which whispers make sense. Librarian, obviously. But I could do a teacher standing over the shoulder explaining how to do something. Would you want need a video that’s 100% whispers, or could part of it be soft spoken. That will help me plan.

[@dollydevilish22]

@@MidModMeridianASMR teacher is a great idea! This exact scenario is where i first got asmr. I think it could be interesting/realistic if you did a teacher video where you are explaining something on the board w soft speaking and then end in whisper helping the viewer directly. Soft spoken into whisper is soooo underrated and i think you would absolutely ace it :) just an idea! ❤️

[@ConceptsInHealth]

How does she do that? Find a museum with card catalog exhibit et. al. wiling to share for filming? I really want to know!! Great work! Many steps beyond what passes for ASMR now that the genre is gaining notoriety.

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

☺️ I’m glad you liked it. No museum. I just happened to find a small card catalog (only two rows) in an antique store. (By the way, if you haven’t seen @MoonlightCottageASMR you will be blown away by her immersive sets and cinematic talent.) 💚💚

I think my ASMR started in my local library back in the 80s. I think the fact little sounds were amplified because of the hush and mine brought in this new system of a pen with a stamper attached. The librarian would right the date and then flip it round and stamp it to confirm. Bliss!
