Book Guide

Who brings books and children together? The children's librarian, of course!

Here's the story of Miss Terry and the library in which she works, written for beginning readers by a real-life children's librarian who understands what children want to know.

Miss Terry shows Andy and his classmates what goes on in the many departments of a busy library. She explains such special community services as books for the blind and the hospitalized. She tells how the bookmobile meets community needs.

With a sense of fun as well as with accuracy, Lucy Hawkinson uses her pen-and-ink drawings to show Miss Terry and her friends.

First and last, this is an easy-to-read book that builds appreciation for those who devotedly serve their communities through libraries—the librarians and their helpers.
