"People were sharing it even from America."

They received comments such as: "Do I live anywhere near this place? No. Am I going to follow the page anyway? Hell yes!" and "I don't know where you are, but I just followed you".

Their social media fame has lured new faces into the library.

"A lot of people have this perception that libraries are these quiet spaces but they've changed a lot," Argent said.

Martin has been working in the library system since 1989, while Argent works in marketing, as well as her library job.

The dynamic duo has exciting plans for new videos, to mark Book Week.
