Thank you to reviewer Emily R. Zarevich, in Local News Burlington, for a well researched, thoughtful and thorough review of This Is a Library Book.

Clearly a library-lover, the reviewer appreciated the many messages woven throughout the book, such as the fact that libraries serve many diverse communities, offering specific things for specific needs. And the importance of libraries being open and welcome spaces, as well as the many varied types of libraries.

The reviewer especially picked up on the library-love that pervades the book, not just in its text but also in its design and colourful images by Chanelle Nibbelink.

“Grant’s writing style in This is a Library Book is meticulously tailored to appeal to the inquisitive, imaginative minds of children, who will appreciate Grant’s sense of the mystic when it comes to talking about the wonder of the world’s most famous libraries of the past and present.”

This wonderful review is definitely worth reading all the way through. You can read it here (click on the headline below):
