This has been one of my absolute favorites for years. Cute characters, a friendly but quick story, and beautiful bold pictures. It was only when a first grader asked me "but what is the book about?" that I realized it was also a fun little overview of library services, including the community room/activities, assistance in finding and selecting books, and circulation services.

A little girl goes to live in an old house at the edge of town, but the house is haunted. It’s a good thing that the girl isn’t just any girl. She’s also a witch! She knows how to catch ghosts, which is a good thing because she has quite a few that she needs to catch. She puts them in the washing machine and then hangs them on the clothesline to dry. Afterwards, they become great curtains, tablecloths, and blankets so that they can all live happily ever after.
This book has a great mix of Halloween fun that combines scariness with sweetness. The illustrations are all orange, black, and white, creating a Halloween feel with the contrast. The text is very simple, but the illustrations make the book more amusing. Some people might have a problem with how the witch transforms the ghosts to suit her needs, but the ghosts look smiling and happy in their new roles. This book should please even very young Halloween fans.… (mere)

"'What is the matter, Miss Wolf?' asked the little librarian. 'Something very sad happened in my story and I can't read it anymore,' replied the wolf."
I feel you, miss wolf.
The best part of this book is the stubborn tortoise who gets his library book tied to his shell with ribbon by two library owls.
