It’s a library book even if you buy it

Upcoming releases

Coming in August (and available for preorder) is Let’s Go to the Library!, a Ready-to-Read level 2 book about young Sally Brown getting her first library card.

I can just picture the consideration at the library behind buying the hardcover library edition of this book. “We should get this! It will encourage kids to come to the library!”

“But the kid won’t see it unless they’re already in the library, in which case, they don’t need to be sold on the library.”

“Oh….”

(Libraries are good things. I like libraries.)
