Return of the Library Dragon
Deedy, C A. (2012). Return of the library dragon. Atlanta GA: Peachtree Publishers.
Ms. Lotty, the school librarian at Sunrise Elementary School is retiring. She is also a dragon. On the day of her retirement she is confronted by a student Milo at the library doors. He is very hesitate of Ms. Lotty entering. The unthinkable has happened, all of the books have been removed and replaced by computers. Mr. Krochip, the representative for the new Cybrary tries to convince her and the children that computers are better than books, to no avail. The more he talks, the angrier Ms. Lotty becomes. Miss Lotta Scales, the dragon comes out and she completely demolishes the library and convincing everyone the books should be returned. In all the chaos, the new librarian arrives and she is someone Ms. Lotty knows. Molly is able to calm her down. She becomes Ms. Lotty again and the books are returned.
This book is a true testament of the importance of books and the love a librarian should have for them. Although technology has its place, books should never be forgotten. This is one of the reasons I am choosing to become a librarian. I want to have them same passion as Ms. Lotty-minus the dragon feature.
