@KendraYola12225 Thank you so much!!

@LLeslie Just finished So You Want to Build a Library and it’s pure imagination fuel. My kids loved being “in charge” of the library design, bathtubs, sundae bars, and all. A joyful celebration of reading and creativity

Where are my elementary librarians & teachers? I’m giving away paperback copies of SO YOU WANT TO BUILD A LIBRARY! Reply with what is a must-have in your library (besides books!), and you will be entered into a drawing. I’ll pick 3 winners. Good luck!! Ends 1/8 @ 11:59 pm.
