This humorous tale of a curious young boy and his single-minded quest
for knowledge is a heartfelt and affectionate tribute to librarians
everywhere.
Every day after school Melvin goes to the library. His favorite
people--Marge, Betty, and Leola--are always there behind the reference
desk. When something interests Melvin, his librarian friends help him
find lots and lots of books on the subject.
As the years pass, Melvin can always find the answers to his
questions--and a lot of fun--in the library. Then one day he goes off to
college to learn new things and read new books. Will he leave the
library and his friends behind forever?
Readers will enjoy Brad Sneed's delightful illustrations that colorfully
capture the fun-loving spirit of Carla Morris's story about the
contagious enthusiasm of learning.
