It had been awhile since she had stepped foot in the library. She had been so busy making woven baskets that she had not had the time to come to her favorite spot to relax.
"Oh my!" Celeste gasped. She had opened the great big doors and had walked into a- well she wasn't sure exactly what to call it. The library was a mess! There she said it. Books were strewn everywhere. Some kind of art project scraps littered the floor.
She stepped deeper into the building, closing the door with a slight kick with her hind foot.
"Hello?" She called out. She stepped carefully around the mess on the floor. She hoped nothing bad had happened to the librarian.
She couldn't imagine what would make the Librarian unable to keep the library clean. She didn't get far before the familiar form of the Librarian showed up. A broom in one of her floating hands, and a harried look on her face.
"Here, start cleaning up." The Librarian said as her hand floated over to Celeste.
"Greenie and I have been making Ferroflips and have been too busy to clean up. " She shot back over her shoulder as she walked back the way she had come. As if knowing her command would be obeyed.
Celeste looked around. The first thing that needed doing was to put all the books away. On the right shelf. This took quite awhile as there were many more books then the last time she was here. And she kept finding books she wanted to read. She decided to set aside two books to check out when she was done.
Now that all the books were picked up and put in there place it was now time to sweep. She swept and swept and swept some more until the floor gleamed.
She did a last look around to make sure there was nothing left out of place before taking her three books to get checked out. And maybe see what these Ferroflips were.
