"Dewey: There's a Cat in the Library!" and "If You Ever Want to Bring a Circus to the Library: Don't!"

There seem to be lots of picture books set in libraries. Here are two more I found.

If You Ever Want to Bring a Circus to the Library, Don't!
4 stars
Author/Illustrator: Elise Parsley

Pure crazy fantasy.
Libraries like to advertise you can do lots of things in them. They do prefer you do quiet things.
This little person decides to set up her personal circus. She is an acrobat, a clown, finds concessions are not allowed and ends with being a human cannonball. Her biggest hit is reading a picture book to the children. Well, maybe being a cannonball makes a bigger physical hit.
The illustrations are fun, colorful and definitely a librarian's worst nightmare.

Dewey: There's a Cat in the Library!
5 stars
Authors: Vicki Myron and Bret Witter
Illustrator: Steve James

I've read the adult book about Dewey, the bibliocat of Spencer, Iowa. This is a picture book about him.
Dewey is left in the book repository one cold night. He is to be the library cat, but doesn't know what to do. This book explores how he learns to be a good library cat.
The illustrations capture a kitten's antics. Dewey is fluffy with soft looking fur and appealing expressions.
