In the library, oh so quiet,
You'll find books to read all night,
With stories big and stories small,
And adventures that will enthrall.

Listen close and you will hear,
The rustling of pages oh so dear,
Little fingers turning through,
As they discover something new.

The light that shines upon your face,
Will guide you through each story's space,
And as you read, you may find,
A tale that speaks to heart and mind.

A lion's roar, a hero's fight,
A lesson learned, a wrong made right,
With every page, a new surprise,
And all the while, the time flies by.

So come and visit, stay awhile,
And let your imagination run wild,
For in this world of books and more,
There's always something to explore.

And though the tales are just make-believe,
The lessons learned we can't conceive,
So listen well, and don't you lie,
For there's so much to learn in life.

And as you leave this magical place,
With a smile upon your little face,
Remember always what you found,
And come back again, safe and sound.
