The Midnight Library

by Matt Haig 

Science Fiction HAIG 

Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life.

Library Lion

by Michelle Knudson 

Easy KNUDSEN 

Miss Merriweather, the head librarian, is very particular about rules in the library. No running allowed. And you must be quiet. But when a lion comes to the library one day, no one is sure what to do. There aren't any rules about lions in the library. And, as it turns out, this lion seems very well suited to library visiting. His big feet are quiet on the library floor. He makes a comfy backrest for the children at story hour. And he never roars in the library, at least not anymore. But when something terrible happens, the lion quickly comes to the rescue in the only way he knows how. 


A Library

by Nikki Giovanni 

Easy GIOVANNI 

In what other place can a child "sail their dreams" and "surf the rainbow" without ever leaving the room? This ode to libraries is a celebration for everyone who loves stories, from seasoned readers to those just learning to love words, and it will have kids and parents alike imagining where their library can take them. 


Our Library

by Eve Bunting 

Easy BUNTING

The Midnight Library

by Kazuno Kohara 

Easy KOHARA 

There is a little library that only opens at night. In the library there is a little librarian, and her three assistant owls, who helps everyone find the perfect book. The library is always peaceful and quiet... until one night when some of the animals stir up a little trouble (and a little fun!) in the Midnight Library.
