A fictionalized account of RoseAleta Laurell, librarian at the Dr. Eugene Clark Library in Lockhart, TX. When she took over as librarian, she found a beautiful old building that didn't get much use. Especially by children, since there was very little there for them. She updated the collection, pushed for computers, and began to bring in more patrons, but needed a lot more funding for an appropriate children's section.
What to do, what to do? RoseAleta packed a tent and supplies, had herself hoisted 50 feet up to the library's roof, and announced she would stay there unil the town raised enough money for the children.
An engaging story for elementary students. A 'ShowMe Award' nominee, 2012-2013.
32 pages.
