The Great Library Misery

This film short is about a man who applies to be a member of the Grouch Club. He describes his experience of trying to obtain a library book as a visitor. He visits the library several times to a young librarian who quotes library rules. The poor applicant does everything to get a library card and borrow a popular book. You have to wonder why he doesn't just buy the book instead but you have to admire his determination. Is the book worth it because you can just go to the bookstore and get it. Nancy Evans is fine as the straight no nonsense librarian. The film could have gotten away with an unattractive woman in the role. The story is short and sweet.
