Santa Claus spreads holiday cheer to a hard-working librarian on Christmas Eve in this humorous take on the children's classic.
Due to low staffing, a librarian must spend her Christmas Eve stacking the shelves at a library in desperate need of renovations. After the strain of a long night that has left her feeling like Bob Cratchit in A Christmas Carol, she is pleasantly surprised to see Santa and his six elves coming to her rescue in a red bookmobile.
In this delightful retelling of Clement C. Moore's classic, Santa signs Newbery winners and starred Caldecotts and stocks the library shelves with Hawthorne, Steinbeck, Millay, and Hemingway. After reading to the children and drinking some hot chocolate, Santa puts his elves to work replacing the rugs, fixing leaks, and organizing gifts according to the Dewey decimal system. As he leaves, Santa pays overdue fees and booms, Do one more good deed. Have a real merry Christmas--teach someone to read!
Praise for Librarian's Night Before Christmas
Santa is appropriately jolly and the elves, exuberant. A library cat and mouse contribute to the antics. --School Library Journal
This volume will definitely find a place in the hearts of librarians and library lovers. --Review of Texas Books
