Librarian's Night Before Christmas


This book should be in every libarian's Christmas stocking. It is a delightful version of the classic "Twas The Night Before Christmas" poem that was written for librarians everywhere.

The story begins with a frazzled librarian sitting at her desk repairing old library books because there is no money to buy new ones (been there, done that).
When the librarian looks out the window, she sees a bright red bookmobile cruising through the sky. Santa jumps out of the vehicle with a pile of books in his hands. He is wearing a green cowboy hat and shiny black boots.

The elves go to work repairing the library walls, replacing worn carpet and stocking the shelves with new books. Santa sits down by the Christmas tree and reads stories to the children in the library.

It was soon time for Santa to be on his way. He has many other libraries to visit. As he flew out of sight, he boomed from his book van;

"Have a real merry Christmas - teach someone to
read!"
