This picture book tells the story of one girl who reminds an entire town of the joy of books.
When
the town's old library is destroyed by a tornado, the people are left
wondering: What should they do with the space where the library used to
be?
The characters in Nia and the New Free Library all want different things:
the builder wants there to be a new skyscraper, the grocer wants a new
parking lot, but Nia just wants a new library . . . but how can one
person build a whole library?
