The Boy Who Was Raised by Librarians by Carla Morris

The Boy Who Was Raised by Librarians by Carla Morris -32 pages

Melvin grew up in the library raised by librarians.  Well, sort of.  He was there so often, he may have well been.  Melvin loved to read and seek knowledge.  The librarians Marge, Betty, and Leeola were always there to help.  And help they did, more than just with his questions.  They helped him with his homework, practice play lines, select archival-safe storage options for his baseball card collection, and more.  The librarians were like his pseudo-parents.  They even influence his career path.  Read to book to find out how.

I enjoyed this book.  In many ways Melvin is like me, so he is a highly relateable character.  And it was nice that the book  walked us through his life from pre-school through the start of his career.
