A Library Poem Inspired by Theodor Geisel

This building is fun, this building is grand.
So step on inside, come on in, take my hand...

We'll have a library adventure today.
Don't be scared, grab your card, grab your friends, don't delay!

We'll do some researching, computing, and thinkin',
We'll learn about dolphins and Abraham Lincoln.

Gardening, racecars, and a puppy named Marley,
How to take super care of your shiny new Harley.

We'll find you a series (you'll like it a lot),
By an author who writes spunky characters and plot.

Prefer to listen? We have books on CD.
If you have a device, download books that are "e."

Bring the kids to the puzzles, the LEGOs, train table,
Storytimes, crafts and games for all young and able.

Discover Caillou, Dora, Pooh, Fancy Nancy,
And Curious George, for the child who gets antsy.

You'll like it, you'll like it, you'll like it so much,
The library has books for all ages to clutch!

Get on a computer, find a job, write a paper,
The library provides things you won't have to pay 'fer.

Librarians are here to provide needed assistance,
They cleverly find answers in creative persistence.

The library is not just an old passing trend,
If you still need convincing read these words from a friend:

"The more that you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."


Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!
