Illustrated by
Maggie Smith.
After finding out that the library has to close due to lack of funds, a young raccoon takes up the cause of saving it. How does he know what to do? By reading library books on such topics as construction, fundraising, and diplomacy. Bunting's public-service-announcement message is soft-pedaled by the story's humor, also evident in Smith's friendly watercolor and acrylic illustrations.
