HOLLYWOOD, California (WXYZ) - Two local librarians have a hobby that's so nerdy it caught the attention of a late-night talk show host. The librarians appeared on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Wednesday night and were a big hit.
Mary Kelly and Holly Hibner are finding old books on library shelves in Plymouth, and in the process are enjoying their 15 minutes of fame. Mary and Holly flew west Wednesday to Hollywood, and they can hardly believe their instant notoriety.
"I am still trying to figure out how it's caught anybody's fancy," Kelly laughed.
"It's just something I never thought would happen in my life," said Hibner. "National TV catches the attention of some little hobby you do, and there you are."
When late-night host Jimmy Kimmel heard about the librarians' hobby of taking outdated books out of circulation and blogging about them, he immediately saw the comedic possibilities.
Kelly and Hibner brought along their own props -- some of the old books they've blogged about. And these books with odd titles covering odd topics made for a funny and enjoyable show segment. The librarians appeared relaxed and "in the moment," which made the segment even more fun to watch.
