Lyrics:

I'm Sneakin her out like I'm Harriet, Prince Charming pull up in a chariot
Ya books gettin heavy i'll carry them, you closin well baby come let me in
Cause shawty this story don't ever end, come check me in my lil librarian (x2)

Huh, you see me you already cheesin, I wonder what could be the reason
You don't look like someone who read and, you tell me looks can be decieving
Huh, oh so you really be readin
Shit you could help me been needin some teachin
It's a bit quiet, I'm hearing ya breathing
Hmm, tell me what time are you leaving
You could come back to the crib, break it down for me in bits
Talkin i'm watchin ya lips, blow me a kiss
Makin it hard to resist, you keep on movin them hips
Hoping the pages don't rip, readin and fuckin don't mix
But I'm addin you to the list
I see the plot and it's thick, huh
New chapters I'm never gon miss

She check me in like librarian, the older the sweeter the berry and
I'm Sneakin her out like I'm Harriet, Prince Charming pull up in a chariot
Ya books gettin heavy i'll carry them, you closin well baby come let me in
Cause shawty this story don't ever end, come check me in my lil librarian (x2)

Takeover: 

It's a kidlit takeover! Writer and librarian Lara Cain Gray joins legendary author/illustrator Jules Faber to chat in a very grown-up way about children's books. Lara's new release helps adults dive deeper into the mechanics of picture books, while Jules is about to let his 50th book loose on an unsuspecting public. You've been warned. 

Book blurb: 

The Grown-Up's Guide to Picture Books is an A to Z guide to what makes a great picture book great. It provides parents, carers, educators, or anyone with an interest, the tools they need to dig deeper into this magical story format. For those who connect with children, it supports shared reading skills, but ALL readers can benefit from picture books. Picture books teach us how to conjure big ideas in small word limits, how to read underlying meanings in visual information, and how to enjoy a little mindful me-time, if only for 15 minutes! And in any case, why should kids have all the fun?

The Little Free Library organization began in 2009 when Todd Bol of Hudson, Wisconsin built a miniature model of a one room schoolhouse, filled it with books, and installed it in his front yard, inviting neighbors to take a book or leave a book. The organization became a registered non-profit in 2012, spreading the idea of sharing free books by way of tiny front yard libraries across the country and then globally. Today, the organization is headquartered in Saint Paul, and it estimates that more than 150,000 Little Free Libraries have been installed in about 120 countries world-wide.

Reporter Rob McGinley Myers first noticed the free libraries when he began taking daily walks around his Como Park neighborhood in Saint Paul. He loved looking through the books on offer, but he began to wonder about the people who ran the libraries out of their front yards. So Rob started knocking on doors, asking the little library owners to tell him what inspired them to install their own library and how it had changed their relationship to the neighborhood.

The final volume in the The Library Trilogy, following THE BOOK THAT WOULDN'T BURN and THE BOOK THAT BROKE THE WORLD. 

 The secret war that defines the library has chosen its champions and set them on the board

The fate of an infinite library hangs on one book, a book that holds the power to break the unbreakable. In the face of such forces, fragile things like hearts, family, and the world seem certain to fail.

The people most vital to Livira are scattered across time and space, lost, divided into factions, in mortal peril. Somehow, she must bring them together and resolve the unresolvable argument that fuels the library’s war. The bond between Livira and Evar has stretched and stretched again. Can it hold at the end, when things fall apart? Can it bring them together against impossible odds?

This is the last chapter, the final page. The end threatens and no one, not characters, readers, or even the author, will emerge unscathed.
