“Spotted Park Bench
I am a park bench.
Ordinary words cannot
express my thoughts on birds.”
― J. Patrick Lewis, If You Were a Chocolate Mustache

“That was what her parents did not understand—and had never understood—about stories. Liza told herself storied as though she was weaving and knotting an endless rope. Then, no matter how dark or terrible the pit she found herself in, she could pull herself out, inch by inch and hand over hand, on the long rope of stories.”
― Lauren Oliver, The Spindlers

“The Book Booth
There's not a big selection,
It's not locked for protection,
But at the intersection
Of Booth and Telephone,

Two customers politely
Can snuggle in it (tightly)
And go once over (lightly)
The books they'd like to own.

"Readcycle" means you leave one -
A book you love. Retrieve one...
Who knows? You might receive one
You haven't read before.

Hats off to the committee
For such an itty-bitty
Library in the city,
Which proves that less is more.”
― J. Patrick Lewis, If You Were a Chocolate Mustache

“For a moment the mole let his disappointment show on his snout. Then he grunted, "You're much smarter than you smell." Liza let out a whoop of satisfaction and chose not to worry too much about what stupidity smelled like.”
― Lauren Oliver, The Spindlers
