Rumours thrive about the school library. It is said that the librarian, Mrs. Beamster, laminates people who talk or whisper. She puts glue on chairs to prevent wriggling and recites the Dewey Decimal System during story time. Some say that the shelves in the library are electrified and kids need to go through a Decontamination Room before entering. When the class plans to visit the library for the first time, the students prepare themselves for the worst. Imagine their surprise when they are welcomed to a warm and friendly place, where a smiling librarian invites them to explore some of the fun and funny books they have to offer. This video is an adaptation of the picture book written by Mike Thaler and illustrated by Jared Lee.--Ministry of Education website.
