Illustrated by
Lizzy Rockwell.
A small, blond boy spends Saturday at the public library with his father. He reads magazines and books, attends story hour, notices older children using computers, and gets his first library card. This is a useful, if tepid, introduction to public library services. Lizzy Rockwell continues her mother's work with simple illustrations featuring clean outlines and round-headed, rosy-cheeked children.
