National Library Week: Picture Books

As a former children's librarian, I knew there were many, many picture books about libraries.  Having been out of the "business" for a while, I searched for books other than the ones I've used over and over for story times.  

I found myself going into a rabbit warren full of lists, and got a little dizzy, so decided to just share some lists.
