LIBRARY POEM by Julia Donaldson Everyone is welcome to walk through the door. It really doesn't matter if you're rich or poor. There are books in boxes and books on shelves. They're free for you to borrow, so help yourselves. Come and meet your heroes, old and new, from William the Conqueror to Winnie the Pooh. You can look into the Mirror or read The Times, Or bring along a toddler to chant some rhymes. The librarian's a friend who loves to lend, So see if there's a book that she can recommend.
