Not only are there statues of gods and goddess inside the building, but there are two statues of gryphons guarding the door. Plus, the library&#8217;s home to ancient artifacts &#8211; weapons, jewelry, and more. Not to mention the impressive book collection. At first, Nickamedes seems to be your stereotypical librarian, but there&#8217;s more to him than meets the eye. This is a library I&#8217;d love to spend hours exploring.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Grimm Legacy<\/strong><\/em> by Polly Shulman (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ala.org\/yalsa\/booklists\/poppaper\/2012\">2012 Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults<\/a>)<br \/>\nElizabeth&#8217;s lonely at school, so she finds a job at the New York Circulation Material Repository, hoping to make friends. \u00a0This library does not circulate books&#8211; instead, it circulates items of historical and magical significance. \u00a0The Brothers Grimm have their own room filled with items from their tales.

Lindsey, the new director, works to update the library. I love how she recognizes people in town and immediately thinks of their favorite authors. Beth, the Children&#8217;s Librarian, is perfect. She loves dressing up in costume and makes story hour come alive. I would enjoy the crafternoon program &#8211; a weekly book club and craft afternoon.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Escape from Mr. Lemoncello&#8217;s Library<\/strong><\/em> by Chris\u00a0Grabenstein<br \/>\nIn this middle grade read, public library was torn down twelve years ago, and a generation of kids haven&#8217;t had the good fortune of a library&#8211; until now. Famous game designer Mr. Lemoncello builds a state of the art library building that sounds amazing &#8211; picture a Willy Wonka type library complete with the latest and most innovative technology and floor to ceiling bookshelves .
