The Library

Where better to go with a two-year-old who gets cabin fever when it's

Raining cold?

Or you could just chill out, no whistles and bells, and read everything by

... ,..., and wells

We could color with crayons

We could put together puzzles

We could read about triumphs

We could read about struggles

You could be a wizard

I could be a muggle

We could sit in the rocking chair and snuggle!

The library, the library

Is the perfect place for me

The library, the library

You can hang out all day and it doesn't cost a penny!

The library, the library

Is the perfect place for me

The library, the library,

It's such a big part of our community!

You could check your email

You could check out books

You could take things home

Or just sit and look

At magazines, computer screens,

There's books on tape, there's dvds!

There's people there who are ready

To help you find the things you need!

There's fiction, non-fiction, and new releases!

My heart broke into a million little pieces

When I walked in that day and saw the sign that said

You'd be closed for a really really long time

Desk was made into a makeshift shrine,

Checked out all your artwork and I added mine!

The library, the library

Is the perfect place for me,

The library, the library,

You can hang out all day and it doesn't cost a penny

The library, the library

It's such a big part of our community

The grass was heavy! with dewey decimals

When I woke up that morning my fingers trembled

As I reheated my coffee in the microfish, waved goodbye to youuu

Now here's a greeting card for your catalog

As we start these few chapters of your autobiography

Two months without you was two months too long

We're so happy you're back we wrote you this song!

The library, the library

Is the perfect place for me,

The library, the library,

You can hang out all day and it doesn't cost a penny

The library, the library

Is the perfect place for me,

The library, the library

It's such a big part of our community
