Rob Sanders' A Family of Readers (illustrated by Gabbie Benda and aimed at ages 3 to 7) opens - of course - at the local library, where 'A family or readers rushed in the front door. / To read and enjoy. To search and explore.'

The rhymed verses continue to show the parents and 3 children, and their impressions and interactions in the library. They see old men reading daily news; clerks shelving; bookworms absorbed; athletes, French students and chefs researching in their interest areas - and much more.

Despite all this activity going on, the youngest reader simply 'read, and read, and read.' As a child, the highlight of my week was always the Saturday visit to the library with my grandfather, so I especially appreciated this celebration of what libraries still have to offer in this Internet age.
