I NEED TO READ by Jeanette Swan

Who is that banging on the door?

Read on, read on…

…Who’s there? Guess who?

Knock, knock, it’s you…

…In a faraway land, in a dreamy corner,

a small bunyip was sleeping and snoring…

…’Sing in the storm,’ whispered Dotty.

‘See now. Now, it’s stopping…’

Reading pages, turning, turning,

other worlds, ancient, modern…

Scary, sweet, funny, deep:

I walk in stories; poems I feel.

Tomorrow, tomorrow

I’ll borrow another…

Every day I need to read!

I really love the library:)

I’ve got stacks of reading to do,

I don’t know where to begin!

Some of the books are big,

And some are very thin.

Will I start on the bottom shelf,

And read my way to the top?

Or start reading down to the ground

Until I have to stop?

Or maybe I’ll read side to side,

Right to left or left to right,

Whatever it is, I know I’ll be reading

Long into the night!

Come on down to the library.
It’s sure to be lots of fun.
The staff are, oh so friendly
and there is something for everyone.

There are books to read, magazines to browse,
audio, ebooks too;
computers, ipads and movies;
jigsaws to swap and do.

Toddlers join in rhyme-time.
Adults play cards and chat.
There’s a book discussion group up the front.
It’s tech time down the back.

The chess group are silent and focused.
The craft people share ideas.
In the meeting room, the history group
pores newspapers from past years.

The seed library opens Saturdays;
English conversation group, the same day;
after- school club on Tuesdays –
with lego and games to play.

Come on down to the library,
It’s sure to be lots of fun.
There’s always so much happening
and a welcome for everyone.
