Hello, my name is Melody Emerson Simpson and I live in Brooklyn, District 36.
4:20:27
I'm seven years old, and I am in second grade.
4:20:31
I love libraries.
4:20:33
The books are so great.
4:20:34
I have lots of book and books in my house, and the only graphic novels I have are from the library.
4:20:41
But I like all the books I get from the library.
4:20:45
Sometimes I get chapter books too.
4:20:48
My school does not have a library in it, so the library near my house is important to me.
4:20:54
Another reason why I love libraries is they have computers.
4:20:59
I can practice using a computer to do fun stuff.
4:21:05
I go to the library after school some days.
4:21:08
It was a great place to go when it was too cold to go to the park.
4:21:16
Please help libraries have enough money for books.
