I enjoy stories that remind readers about things. Reminding readers that there are many types of books (even ones with ugly, nondescript covers) that are meant to be enjoyed is a good tale to tell. Working in a library, I always try to highlight topics/books that might not be the first thought or expectation.

Inevitably a book's life needs to change. Get off the books shelf but find somewhere new to explore. This book talks that too. ( )

A new library book goes on adventures as it is checked out by many readers. But after awhile, the adventures stop and the book is a bit shabby. Are the adventures over? Not yet. At a book giveaway, the book ends up going to a new home with a little girl who loves it and brings it on many new adventures. A book to answer the question what happens to old library books and a nice example of repurposing and recycling.

The life cycle of a library book is an amazing thing. Live this life with a little red book as they go from hands to hand, to home, to home. This story was simple and amazing. ( )
