A Visit to the Sesame Street Library by Deborah Hautzig

A Visit to the Sesame Street Library by Deborah Hautzig - 32 pages

Big bird visits the bookstore, but doesn't have enough money to buy all the books he wants.  The owner suggests he check out the library because the books are "free to check out."  When he arrives, Big Bird stumbles into story time and finds his friend, Grover.  They soon visit many places within the library, as Grover provides a tour, before looking for the book Big Bird wanted.  When they couldn't find the book, they asked the librarian for help.  Will they find it?

While Sesame Street is an ongoing show, the illustrations in this book are clearly dated.  They look like they belong in the 1980s.  Plus, Grove shows Big Bird records and cassettes to check out and demonstrates their use.  Still, it shows the basics of a library and its functions.
