One day I took a walk
Found myself near City Hall
There was no one with whom to talk
So I entered the library nearby
With books from wall to wall

I studied its numerous shelves
It's so good when we educate ourselves

I pulled out a history book
With a colorful cover
I took a long look
There were so many facts to discover

I wandered through the quiet rooms
And consumed the knowledge of medicine
Novels, mysteries, and stories about Thomas Edison

I was drawn to the children's stories,
Mothers with children in carriages
Checking out books about animals, balloons, and fairies

I've done my homework in the library
Constantly looking up in the dictionary

The library educates
And there are no charging rates
Except when you get a note about late return
The you have some cause for concern!

The library is where I study for a test
And it is there that I always do my best
