Library showcases 'What's a Budget?' video project created with Office of Metro Budgets and teen studio
Summary
The board viewed a music-video style explainer on the Office of Metro Budgets created in partnership with the library's teen studio, Wishing Chair Productions and other Metro staff; the Office of Management and Budget will coordinate release and the library will share once OMB publishes it.
Library leaders previewed a collaborative video project called "What's a Budget?" — a short music/video explainer produced with the Office of Metro Budgets (OMB), the library's teen studio and Wishing Chair Productions — and discussed plans for release and distribution.
The project matters because it aims to make Metro budgeting processes more accessible to the public via a creative, youth‑involved production and cross‑departmental collaboration.
Brett of Wishing Chair Productions and library staff described the year‑long effort: the OMB worked with the teen studio on lyrics; Wishing Chair produced and recorded the music; Neat Cat Network edited public footage; library teams provided on‑camera segments. Library staff said OMB received the video a few weeks earlier and will lead public release; officials said they will then distribute it across the library’s channels.
No formal board action was required; members praised the project and asked about distribution to Metro Council and the public. Library staff said they would share the video after OMB’s release.
