Today was room cleaning day. Somewhere in the middle of cleaning, Neko veered off track and suddenly she had turned her entire bedroom into a library.
Each book had a green strip of tape on the spine. There were sitting areas, advertisements encouraging you to read, and a book return. A kind librarian checked your books out on an iPad, and her friendly assistant, wearing a Rapunzel dress, offered tea to all visitors.
As it turns out, I had a book on hold at Book Island!
Later on there was a bit of a disagreement between all parties under the age of nine, and Book Island’s owner stormed off and declared Book Island would be closed forever.
I’m happy to report all conflicts were later resolved, and Book Island reopened with a technology upgrade—the addition of a Lego Mindstorms contraption that beeps each time you place a book under the sensor.
(And, no, she never did finish cleaning her bedroom.)
