-Written by Annemarie Elizabeth Curtis--Illustrated by My Way Education-
Gwendolyn the fairy lives in a library. She loves to be surrounded by
books. Sometimes it's dusty, and sometimes it's musty, and sometimes
she gets funny looks. The librarians don't mind. They think it quite grand
that Gwendolyn is there to lend a hand. When a CD is lost or a book can't
be found, Gwendolyn is always around. She looks high on the shelves...
and low on the floor, and when she is done, it's not lost anymore.

Then one day, the librarians say, "We can't find this book, and it's
been here since May." Gwendolyn says, "I'll find it for you. Nothing is lost
after I'm through." She looks high; she looks low; she looks in places no
books should go.
Dressed as a detective, she looks in the mysteries. Dressed as a
queen, she checks with the histories. Then, shivering, shaking, and
dressed like a ghost, she looks in the section that frightens her most. She
searches fiction, non-fiction, and large type. Looking for the book keeps
her up all night.
Frizzled and frazzled and ready to quit, she checks one more place
and hopes she find it. She trudges to media with videos and CDs. There
she discovers two book-stealing thieves!
"What are you doing?" Gwendolyn shouts. "Don't you know that the
book is free to check out?" Free to check out? Who would have guessed?
The thieves exchanged glances; both are impressed.
One thief speaks up, "What do we do to check out this book, if we
wanted to?" "That's easy," Gwendolyn says with a smile. "We take down
your name, and we keep it on file." She leads the two thieves down to
Registration, where they wait for a librarian with anticipation.
When the clock strikes nine, they form the head of the line. A
librarian comes to the desk and says, "Next, please." Gwendolyn steps
forward with the two thieves. "We'd like this book," they say, heads hung
in shame. The librarians nods. "First, I will need your number and name."
She takes down their names, and then all is done. With library
cards, the thieves can have library fun.

They check out their book. Then, they go away, but they promise to
return it the very next day... and they did.
