Meet Library Lil, a woman of many talents. As a reader she learned to lift weights, play soccer, and build tree houses. She was strong in mind and body and spread her enthusiasm by becoming a librarian. The town was only interested in TV until a storm knocked out the power. Lil resurrects the old bookmobile and brings the books to the people. All went well until Bust-em-up-Bill came to town and wanted to watch Tuesday night wrestling. He is no match for our Lil. Scene after scene rollicks with Kellogg's rich imagination and joyful palette. Every library will want a few copies.
