Everything has its place in the library and Melvin likes it that way. And his favorite people--Marge, Betty, and Leola-are always in their places, behind the reference desk. When something interests Melvin, his librarian friends help him find lots and lots of books on the subject. When he collects creepy bugs in a jar, they help him identify, classify, and catalog the insects. When he is cast as the Enormous Eggplant in the school play, Betty reads aloud from <i>Organic Gardening</i> to help him find his motivation. As the years pass, Melvin can always find the answers to his questions-and a lot of fun-in the library. Then one day he goes off to college to learn new things and read new book. Will he leave the library and his friends behind forever? Readers will enjoy Brad Sneed's delightful illustrations that colorfully capture the fun-loving spirit of Carla Morris's story about the contagious enthusiasm of learning. 402485 31 3 2007 The Boy Who Was Raised by Librarians total:302|5:120|4:122|3:54|2:6|1:0| 302 1262 428 91 5 2 false false Sun Jan 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 04 19:39:10 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 04 19:40:57 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Nov 20 13:11:23 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 13:19:03 -0800 2009
