The New York Public Library is currently facing a huge $37 million budget shortage and to promote their “Don’t Close the Book” fundraising campaign, NYPL hooked up with Improv Everywhere, a NY based improv group that specializes in “scenes of chaos and joy in public places” (sounds like a group of misfits…). To promote public awareness of the library’s predicament, Improv Everywhere staged a homage to famous scene from Ghostbusters! Its also really cool that it took place in NYPL’s historic Rose Main Reading Room where the original Ghostbuster scene took place. Just like in the movie, four proton pack toting Ghostbusters invaded the library to chase out couple ghostly beings donning white sheets with a pair of holes punched through. With a really cool remix of the Ghostbuster theme song by Tyler Walker, playing in the back ground, the video is definitely funny as hell. Even the students and patrons of the library think so as well. Great job!
