- I've gotten at least a dozen requests for a remake of this old song, "Library Girl," so here it is in all its acoustic glory! I can't believe it's been ten years since I filmed that DIY "music video" for this song in my university's library (and got kicked out in the process). If you want a laugh and to revisit it, here's the link: • Library Girl (original...
For this version, I had Toni join me with some lead guitar and eyeglasses. :)
Take guitar lessons from Toni:

Library Girl lyrics:
Shelving books on the night shift
It takes some time, but I guess I like it
Dewey's decimals keep me company
Out the window, you are dancing
With those girls who can't stop laughing
Lip-gloss, too hot, fake-baked drama queens
You were drinking a margarita
I was reading My Antonia
I got to thinking that
I don't fit inside that world
And I'm not like those other girls
Oh no, I'm not, I think a lot
But please don't be afraid
Just 'cause I navigate the media
And use encyclopedias
It doesn't mean that I don't need
A boy just like you to talk to
Set my cup back on its saucer
At the coffee shop, reading Chaucer
With my iPod on my favorite track
The girls you're with get turtle lattes
Decaf, skim-based, extra frothy
But you and I both drink our coffee black
You were talking about ACDC
And I was playing my Puccini
I got to thinking that
Repeat Chorus
You can buy me a margarita
And I will lend you My Antonia
You can take me to ACDC
And I'll play you my Puccini
It doesn't matter that
I don't fit inside that world
I'm not like those other girls
Oh no, I'm not, I think a lot
But you are not afraid.
That I navigate the media
And use encyclopedias
It doesn't mean that I don't need
A boy just like you to talk to
"A library is like an island in the middle of a vast sea of ignorance, particularly if the library is very tall and the surrounding area has been flooded." Elle, you are such a joy! It makes me happy to just share this Earth with you 💛📚🎶
These girls are fantastic. I discovered Reina and Toni about 6 months ago and I am totally blown away by their talent
and charisma.
Yeah they got Charisma
They are both awesome!
@3:03 Toni, you f*in rock!
Honestly Toni, your guitar work is phenomenal. 👍👍
Listen I'm just gonna say it, by the gods, Toni is just the prettiest lady on the interwebs.
Damn.
I just have one question: is there ANY song you ladies CAN'T DO? I truly doubt it. Y'all are just awesome.
I love the absence of jaded existentialism in your music. Continue to elevate the beautiful....it's what people need.
"I think a lot" - always loved that line! The energy/ synergy between you two is so wonderful to witness! (Pu-u-u-u-ucini...) It all just brings smiles! (and these days, that counts for a LOT!) THANKS!!!
I just discovered Reina del Cid 4 mos. ago and cannot stop listening to them! Best music I’ve heard since discovering Nanci Griffith for the first time in the 90’s! Thank you so much! LOVE you!❤️🙋♀️🌹🙏
I have 2 reasons to look forward to Sundays. I love worshipping with my bass on Praise Team and watching you two. Cool lyrics as well as music. Toni is perhaps the most under rated guitarist on UA-cam! Thanks for the music!
One more, One more.... Beautiful Duo. Thx
More beautiful music and the world continues to turn. Thanks
I don`t know how you can get any better than this! A Songwriter's dreams song. You aced it! No one else has this style of song writing.
I just saw your 2010version and then watched this. Love how your voice has matured! Toni, great turn-arounds!
Thanks for revisiting this Reina & Toni. I can see a sweet storyline, screenplay, mega hit movie just based on that song! Takes my imagination away.
You guys are amazing . What a cool song . Love seeing how much fun you have when playing. Makes your music all that better. Cheers 😎✌️
I love that song!
P.S. A sizable chunk of your view count of the old version is ME!
Ihr seit einfach nur klasse ,sympathische junge Leute die es voll drauf haben. Gefällt einen alten Gitarrenspieler der es nie richtig gelernt hat. Wünsche euch alles Gute! :-) :-)
Thankyou girls, for a very nice start to Sunday!
You 2 ladies just awesome!!!
it's a show for those who are musicians to watch the great abilities of these two beautiful girls. An accompanying voice that makes sure you don't need drums (I'm sorry because I'm an old drummer) but they do it with a precision and skill worthy of praise. Brave Reina and Toni!
It's also nice that you both can have fun and laugh{make us laugh} either at the beginning of the video or at the end. makes for a nice addition to the video
Tony is GREAT, Reina is QUEEN
What a lovely song to wake up too 7.45am here in NZ. ATB to you both
I just enjoy how original your sound is and how you both look to be enjoying yourselves.
Just discovered you and your guitarist two days ago. OH. MY. GOSH. Together the two of you make a beautiful and buttery sound. Can’t get enough. Please do more originals.
This put the biggest smile on my face when I saw the notification for this video, still an awesome song after all these years :)
Whenever I go down to study at Strozier Library I think of this song. fantastic.
Love the guitar riff at 3:04. Nice song!
This song is Librarian approved! I have followed you since I first saw the original years ago. (I am a retired librarian, love your music.)
Hahahaha! Nice one!
This takes my breath away! Phew! Wow! Brilliant lyrics hahaha! Great singing and Toni's guitar, wooah! Thanks!
Awesome thank you...Love the song and once again Toni sparkles with her great versatile guitar work
you girls give me a true joy in in the beauty of the human race.
Two pretty girls with guitars on a railroad track singing Jambalaya baited me. Your voice and singing style hooked me. Toni's guitar style speared me. Now I'm even listening to lyrics. You are easy to watch and easy to listen to. Now I'm thinking about what I'm seeing and hearing. What have you done to me?
Would love to hear you guys perform "Don't think twice its alright". Big fan of you Toni 😍💗💗💗
Classic! Now I've gotta go back and listen to that first album again.
I truly missed this song.
Thank you for the music and video
I am so glad Toni got a guitar that is more worthy of her scintillating talent. This is a very good song. Thanks for posting.
Super cool edition, and thanks for sharing, and have a happy week..Will
Woohoo! I was randomly surfing YT when I found your first video just a couple of months ago, and now I can't even imagine a sunday without my weekly dose of your music. Thank you, you're great!
Damn... Just such a good combination of talent.. Love all the Sunday morning vids and Toni is looking as good as ever too
I love these talented beautiful young ladies!
Good job young humans Reina and Toni!!! The art and the music marches on through los siglos!!
I still listen to and love this song ❤
I haven't hear this song before, I love it thanks Reina and Toni
this is the song that made me suscribe all those years ago :) so nice to hear it again :D
Same here.
This was the first song of Reina's that I heard. Dig it.
A smile on my face. :)

Have loved the song for years. Glad to come across it again.
Guitar parts in the middle are subtle and incredible
Your guitar playing and singing is the best it doesn't get any better, love it!
You can tell the difference in development the years have made. Of course, the library added a bit a ambiance.
Love your voice
XLNT!
Very cute song, but also very well constructed song, and spicy performance. Loved it.
It warmed my heart to see this today
Your music makes my day....you guys rock Toni, those glasses suit you .....guitar work and singing just awesome... a big shout out from down down under Aotearoa.....the land of the long white cloud ( New Zealand )
I only learned about you two 10 days ago...just love your music and Toni you such a natural cool acoustic guitar player..just do what you two do best from Allen all the way from South Africa.
Fantastic ! Like every song of you both ! Hello from Switzerland
YAY! I remember this one well. Loved it at the time and still give a spin now and then. Nice to see you revisit it. Fun at the time and still fun.
Retired librarian here and married to a current librarian. Love this song. Btw, we rarely use encyclopedias anymore. The internet made them obsolete. Also, the card catalog no longer exists. That's on the computer, too.
Love that one. Thanks a lot. Great tone
rhythm, licks and lyrics perfectly sweet like a dark chocolate truffle with a cuppa fine black coffee!
Well, if it only takes a dozen requests to inspire a revisit, I'll throw my vote toward "This One's Gonna Hurt," which should have been a huge radio hit but doesn't seem to have a high-quality video yet. (If you do one, Toni's slide guitar work is essential.) A close second choice is "Pretty Little Lie."
That was so fun - you two find such joy in preforming music 👍
Best performance on UA-cam. Your excellence is subtle.
Such a beautiful voice. Well done.
Love Sunday Mornings! Great music🤓
Love this song (can't remember if I commented previously!!) I worked in a library many years ago - and knew a very nice library girl..!!!
this is one of my all time favorites!!!
Glad I found your channel a couple of months ago! Found my used copy of My Antonia; love that reference in Library Girl.
I love this song!!!
Hard to tell you guys have a nice New Year God blesses everybody already a place great God bless all these
What a great song!
I'm a little new to your music but I think this is my favorite
Definitely habit-forming. What a clever songwriter. What excellent performers.
Always Sparkling
Any song that includes the Dewey Decimal System is a winner in my book.
OMG I'm in love! Found the cover of Praise You and haven't stopped listening since.
Awesome - and you pronounced the title of the Willa Cather novel correctly! Amazing!
OMG. Whatever.
BEAUTIFUL SONG, YOU ARE WONDERFUL, CONGRATULATIONS
Love this, great song!
Es macht echt Spaß da zu zuhören.
Another wonderful song by both of you love it
Ahhhhhhhh I love this song. I remember the original video 💓
And again! Awesome!
awesome tune! I know there has to be a lot of work going into these songs. and I love Reinas hair, and I patiently waited for the head flick, to move that runaway lock. that gretch and taylor guitars are real expensive and the best. and very nice bar chording, that style takes years of work and finger strength for acoustic guitars. I don't know if this in an outdoor iphone video, the audio must have been reworked to remove street noise. and go toni what a pair.
Outstanding! Great song and played with exceptional talent. Love the original and this one more.
Sounds great again :-) Well done :-) Toni is awesome again.. Thumbs Up and Greetings again from Germany :-)
Reina, you come up with the greatest lyric references: a Willa Cather novel in this song (who reads Willa Cather anymore, except you and me?) and WebMD in Common Man. I just sit at the computer grinning from ear to ear when I hear your songs. Being a North Dakota girl I am waiting for a reference to Rolvaag's Giants in the Earth. Or does the fact that he wrote it in Norwegian disqualify it from the American Literary Canon? Maybe English majors don't read novels published in Norwegian, even if they are essential to understanding the immigrant experience on the northern plains.
Beautiful song
I enjoy watching & listening to your songs. You certainly seem to enjoy what you do. I'm glad I discovered you on UA-cam.
Makes my day, happy!
Beautiful song
Always loved this one! :)
Nice to hear a Reina classic this sunday! P.s hell of a lick at the end Toni!
Nice to hear an old song of yours. Great job as always.
werewolf5674 since Tony sold her Tailor what did she replace it with?
i like all Reina's original songs
you music make me relaxed thxs
Great stuff! Could probably only be topped by "Sister don't cry" 😉
