THE BOY WHO WAS RAISED BY LIBRARIANS
by Carla Morris
c.2007 The author dedicated this great little children’s book “to children’s librarians everywhere --- may you be comforted by the knowledge that your daily small acts of kindness and service to children will result in adults who do the same!”
Young Melvin spent so much time in the Livingston Public Library that it was almost as if he lived there. He went to the library every day after school because he was a very curious boy. He loved the librarians who helped him find books and info on the things that he was curious about.
The book celebrates a little boy who grows up learning and achieving, and the librarians who were his mentors. This is a very sweet book about our friends, the librarians.

c.2010 Miss Brooks, the librarian, loves books a lot. She dresses up in character costumes to get the children excited about reading.
In May, for Book Week, she plans a special activity. She asks each of the children in the reading group to pick a favorite story, wear a costume, and tell the group about the book. Missy isn’t happy. She doesn’t like books, at all!
“When I get home, I ask my mother if we can move to a new town. My mother says there’s a librarian in every town.”
Missy takes home a book bag full of books, but she finds fault with every one. Then something her mother says in exasperation sparks an idea in Missy’s head, and she finds the perfect book to share with the group. Do you want to know what book she chose? Sorry, I’m not telling. You’ll have to read MISS BROOKS LOVES BOOKS!
SORRY, MISS FOLIO
by Jo Furtado
c.1987 A little boy goes with his mother to the library to pick out a book on a snowy winter day. But he likes the book so much, he fails to return it. Each month he has a different, imaginative excuse why he still hasn’t returned it yet. By spring, the librarian is getting concerned; by autumn, she’s downright angry and tearing out her hair! Will she EVER get the missing book back?
CARLO AND THE REALLY NICE LIBRARIAN
by Jessica Spanyol
c.2004 For very young readers. Carlo is a giraffe and Crackers is his black cat. This is the story of their first visit to the library. Carlo is amazed by all the books he sees, the colorful posters, and the desk chairs on little wheels. But he and Crackers get a big scare when the librarian, a dragon, pops up from the circulation counter and asks “Can I help you?”
LIBRARY LIL
by Suzanne Williams
c.1997 The story of Library Lil, from the time she was a baby who loved books; illustrated by the inimitable Steven Kellogg. By the time she was 8 years old, Lil had read all the books in the children’s library. She developed very strong arms from carrying so many books. When she grew up, naturally, she became a librarian, but she was sad because children weren’t using the library. This is the story of how Lil turns the whole town into readers.
