Pick up a Library Book!
Bats in the Library by Brian Lies.Bored with another normal, inky evening, bats discover an open library window and fly in to enjoy the photocopier, water fountain, and especially the books and stories found there. This lovely book is based on the author's childhood visit to the Riverside Public Library. | Book! Book! Book! by Deborah Bruss. When the children go back to school, the animals on the farm are bored, so they go into the library in town trying to find something to do. | Mr. Lemoncello's Library Olympics by Chris Grabenstein. Pick up the sequel in which Mr. Lemoncello has invited teams from all across America to compete in the first ever LIBRARY OLYMPICS...but someone is trying to censor what the kids are reading. |
