In This Library - by April Jones Prince (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

In This Library is a rhythmic, joyful ode to libraries, the places we feel the most empowered, creative, and safe--perfect for fans of School's First Day of School and All the Books.

Libraries are magic--they're dynamic spaces of discovery that help us explore how the world works.

Libraries are welcoming--they open their doors, books, and programs to every human being.

Libraries are inspiring--they shower us with opportunities, from language learning to 3D printing to movies and magic shows.

And most importantly, libraries are home--they bond people and their communities through sharing, support, and lifelong learning.

This rhythmic, joyful tale celebrates the place we feel the most empowered, creative, and safe--the library!

Paired with warm, lively art by Kelly Wu, In This Library is a lyrical "thank you" to the libraries that provide us with a place of belonging and endless imagination.
