Hello and welcome to San Bruno library presents once upon a time your television story, time from the San Bruno library. My name is Barbara and I'm the children's librarian at the library and we're going to spend the next half-hour sharing songs and rhymes and stories from the library let's get started. Are you ready to join me in our opening song? Okay,.

A

We're glad you're here today we're glad you're here today, hi ho the merry. Oh, we're glad you're here today, good! Let's do it again, one more time. Okay, we're glad you're here today we're glad you're here today, hi ho the merry! Oh, we're glad you're here today now take your hands like this: let's open them and shut them open, shut them, open, shut them, give a little clap, clap, clap, open, shut them, open, shut them put them in your lap, creep them crawl them creep them crawl them right up to your chin.

A

Chin chin open up your little mouth, but do not let them in don't let them in very.

B

Good I'm glad to see you're so ready to pay attention and play this morning all right. Let's read our first book. This book is about going to the library Lola at the library by anima, Quinn and Rosalind beard Shaw, let's find out about Lola's day.

B

Lola loves Tuesday's on Tuesdays Lola and her mommy go to the library.

B

The library opens at nine o'clock, but Lola is ready to go long before that. Lola would have to wait a little bit longer for the San Bruno library right we open at ten o'clock. She puts all the books she borrowed last week in her backpack. Her library card is also very important.

B

The library is not very far away so Lola and her mommy always walked there. Lola and her mommy give back the books from last week. The librarian buzzes them through the machines to check them in.

B

There is a special section in the library just for children. It's really cool, nobody ever says Shh. Sometimes there is singing Lola knows all the words and the hands for twinkle twinkle little star.

B

Sometimes they're a story: time Lola loves that, after story time, Lola chooses her books in the library she can have any book. She wants Lola like stories with bears and anything with shoes. There are so many it takes ages to choose.

B

Mommy has some books to the librarian buzzes them through the machine then stamps the date inside Lola's must bring them back in two weeks, but you will probably be back for more long before then and in our library. You can keep them for three weeks. Lola and her mommy always get a snack after visiting the library. Mommy has a cappuccino and Lola has juice.

B

Whenever Lola has been good for mommy lets her taste some of the foam, hmm then it's time to go home again.

B

Every night after Lola is tucked in bed. Her mommy reads her a story. It's the best way to end the day and that's the story of Lola at the library. So let's put this.

A

Down here and let's do another rhyme like.

B

We would do at story time at the library how about a one of my favorites. Let's do inside the space shuttle. Do you know this one.

A

You give yourself a hug like this inside the space shuttle just enough room here. Comes the countdown put your hands up five, four, three, two one: oh okay! Let's do that again inside the space shuttle just enough room here comes a countdown 54321.

A

B

Okay, our next story is also a library story. It's called library lion by Michelle Newton and illustrated by Kevin Hawks. This is about an old-fashioned library he's.

A

A lion going in.

B

One day of lion came to the library he walked right past the circulation desk and up into the stacks.

B

Mr. McBee ran down to the hall to the head librarians office, miss Merriweather, he called no running said, miss Merriweather without looking up, but there's a lion said Mr McBee in the library is he breaking? Any rules asked miss Merriweather. She was very particular about rule breaking well, no said Mr McBee. Not really, then leave him be the lion wandered all around the library he sniffed the card. Catalog he rubbed his head against the new book collection. Then he patted over to the story corner and went to sleep.

B

The one was sure what to do there weren't any rules about Lions in the library.

B

Soon it was time for a story hour. There weren't any rules about lions at story hour either. The story lady seemed a little nervous, but she read out the first book's title in a good, clear voice. The lion looked up the story, lady kept reading. The lion stayed for the next story and the story after that he waited for another story, but the children began to walk away story hour is over a little girl, told him it's time to go. The lion looked at the children. He looked at the story, lady.

B

He looked at the closed books. Then he roared very loud.

B

Miss Merriweather came striding out of her office, who is making that noise? She demanded it's. The lion said Mr McBee miss Merriweather marched over to the lion. If you cannot be quiet, you will have to leave. She said in a stern voice. Those are the rules, the lion kept roaring. It sounded sad. The little girl tugged on miss merriweather's dress. If he promises to be quiet, can he come back for story hour tomorrow? She asked the lion stopped roaring.

B

He looked at miss Merriweather, miss Merriweather, looked back then she said yes, a nice quiet lion would certainly be allowed to come back for story hour tomorrow. Hurray said the children. The next day the lion came back. You are early said. Miss Merriweather story hour is not until three o'clock. The lion did not budge very well said miss Merriweather. You might as well make yourself useful. She sent him off to dust encyclopedias until it was time for story hour. The next day the lion came early again.

B

This time, miss Merriweather asked him to lick all the envelopes for the overdue notices.

B

Soon the lion began doing things without being asked. He dusted encyclopedias, he licked the envelopes. He let small children stand on his back to reach books on the highest shelves. Then he curled up in the story corner to wait for story hour to begin at.

B

First people in the library were nervous about the lion, but soon they got used to having him around. In fact, he seemed very well suited for the library. His big feet were quiet. On the library floor he made a comfy backrest for the children at story hour and he never roared in the library anymore. What a helpful lion people said they patted his soft head as he walked by. How did we get along without him mr. McBee scowled, when he heard that no lions were needed? They had always gotten along fine before lions.

B

He thought could not understand rules. They did not belong in the library one day after he had dusted all the encyclopedias and licked all the envelopes and helped all the small children. The lion patted down the hall to miss meriweather's office to see what else there was to do. There was still some time left before story hour, hello, lions and miss Merriweather. I know something you can do. You can bring a book back into the stacks. For me you just let me get it down off from the shelf.

B

Miss Merriweather stepped up onto the step stool. The book was just out of reach. Miss Merriweather stood on her toes. She stretched out her fingers almost there. She said, then miss Merriweather stretched a little too far.

B

Ouch said miss Merriweather softly. She did not get up. Mr. McBee, she called after a minute Mr McBee, but Mr McBee was at the circulation desk. He could not hear her calling lion said: miss Merriweather, please go and get mr. McBee. The lion ran down the hall, no running, miss Merriweather called after him, but he put his big front. Paws up on the circulation desk and looked at mr. McBee go away. Lion said: Mr McBee I'm busy the lion whined. He pointed his nose down the hall towards miss merriweather's office. Mr. McBee ignored him.

B

Finally, the lion did the only thing he could think of to do. He looked at mr. McBee right in the eye. Then he opened his mouth very wide and he roared his loudest roar. He had ever roared in his life.

A

Mr. McBee gasped you're not.

B

Being quiet, he said to the lion you're breaking the rules. Mr. McBee walked down the hall as fast as he could. The lion did not follow him. He had broken the rules. He knew what that meant. He hung his head and walked toward the stairs. Mr. McBee did not notice miss Merriweather. He called as he walked, miss Merriweather. The lion broke, the rules, the lion broke, the rules he burst into miss meriweather's office.

B

She was not in her chair, miss Merriweather. He.

A

B

Sometimes said, miss Merriweather from the floor behind her desk. There is a good reason to break the rules, even in the library now please go call a doctor, I think I've broken my arm. Mr McBee ran to call a doctor no running mr. miss Merriweather called after him. The next day things were back to normal. Almost miss merriweather's left arm was in a cast. The doctor had told her not to work too hard. I will have my lion to help me. Miss Merriweather thought, but the lion did not come to the library.

B

That morning, at three o'clock, miss Merriweather walked over to the story corner the story. Lady was just beginning a story for the children. The lion was not there.

B

People in the library kept looking up from their books and computer screens hoping they would see a familiar furry face, but the lion did not come that day. The lion did not come the next day, either or the day after that.

B

One evening, mr. McBee stopped by miss merriweather's office on his way out can I do anything for you before I go miss Merriweather. He asked her. No thank you said: miss Merriweather. She was looking out the window. Her voice was very quiet even for the library, mr. McBee frowned as he walked away. He thought there was probably something he could do for miss Merriweather. After all, mr. McBee left the library, but he did not go home. He walked around the neighborhood. He looked under cars, he looked behind bushes.

B

He looked in backyards and trash cans and treehouses.

B

Finally, he circled all the way back to the library the lion was sitting outside. Looking in through glass doors, hello lion said: Mr McBee. The lion did not turn around I thought you might like to know said: Mr McBee that there's a new rule at the library no Roaring allowed. Unless you have a very good reason say if you're trying to help a friend who's been hurt, for example, the Lions ears twitched he turned around, but Mr McBee was already walking away the next day. Mr. McBee walked down the hall to miss meriweather's office.

B

What is it mr. McBee asked miss Merriweather in her new sad quiet voice, I thought you might like to know that mr. McBee, that there's a lion in the library miss Merriweather jumped up from her chair and ran down the hall. Mr. McBee smiled no running. He called after her miss Merriweather did not listen.

B

Sometimes there is a good reason to break the rules, even in the library and that's the story at the library lion.

B
