Agreed! Love “Parks and Rec” in general and any interactions they have with the library department are hilarious, but using the DVD case device to pretend to scan the library card distracted me too.

I loved this episode. I was totally distracted as a librarian though, because the library clerk didn't run Leslie's library card through a card scanner--she ran it through a magnetized DVD case opener. It didn't even look like a card scanner. That bit made me laugh.

That nitpick aside, I think nothing is funnier to me than Tom Haverford. Just, in the history of the world. Nothing.

DJ Roomba, tearing it up!

I think you may be right! I updated the post to reflect that. Thanks!

Yeah-I find this cast to be irresistable and all the possibilities and what's next? scenarios- keep me tuned in each week.

The other night, I finally occurred to me what this show has done. It's gotten farther and farther away from being an Office rip-off (which I never thought anyway) and more in line with a show like The Simpsons. A fictional town filled with unusual, quirky, memorable characters that we meet more of every episode. Odd companies and services that operate within the town (Sweetums , The Library). Running gags (The paintings). An ensemble cast that you can mix and match at will. And I love it. I wonder if that was a conscious effort to help break away from The Office stereotype. P&R is developing it's own universe, which is one of my favorite things to watch come about in a show. I am really enjoying P&R's second season and I am am really anticipating where the finale will take us, what with all the relationship stuff the writers have cleverly built up. For weeks I've been like “Um…is April starting to…. dig Andy?” To see it pay off in this episode was fun and thought provoking. What will Tom do? Does Ron make a play for his ex-wife? And why do I suspect that Dave will make a very uncomfortable return to complicate Leslie and Justin's fledgling romance.
Again.. I am really enjoying this show. Can't wait for next week.

Daris Arcia: haha I was expecting for Tammy to pop out in the library scene and yell "BITCH GET OUT!"

Randy Davis: "...put in a token, see a duck"
