Mrs. Heath is the librarian at Happyland Elementary School. While she is on maternity leave the students in Mrs. Tulane's class become library helpers, aka library pages.
The library pages make Mrs. Heath a video to show her how they have been taking care of the library books and patrons. Bert shelves all of the skinny books together because he likes skinny books better than thick books. Carlos shelves the non-fiction books by color instead of by their Dewey Decimal numbers. By the middle of the video Mrs. Heath is scared to continue watching, but she does. As the video continues Mrs. Heath becomes angry as she watches the library pages do unthinkable things to the library books. In the last scene of the video Mrs. Heath finds a big surprise from her new library pages.
The children represented in the illustrations reflect a variety of ethnicities. This book provides an opportunity to talk with children about the proper way to treat a library book.
