Here’s a gift or prize suggestion.

Get the Little Librarian Kit!

“Little Librarian is the first personal library kit made just for kids! It encourages reading and is powered by creativity and imagination, not batteries! Little Librarian provides book lovers with everything they need to transform their book collection into a library. Kids can practice the important skills of organizing, sharing, borrowing, and returning. Book pockets, check out cards, library cards, and bookmarks are just like the ones from the real library. Little Librarians will issue overdue notices and awards. Favorite books can be stored in the reading journal and shared with friends.

To get started just add books!”

It’s a teeny bit old-fashioned but have you looked inside the doctor or nurse kits lately? They’d be charged with malpractice!

Many friends and relatives have told me (on the QT) that their children played librarian. The hushed tones denoted conspiratorial pride and pride in their kids was evident. Anyway, as long as they have a real library card, this is harmless and keeps libraries in the play zone.
