Lola loves Tuesdays because Tuesday is the day she goes to the library with her mommy. There she returns the books she borrowed last week and explores the special library section just for children, a place where nobody ever says, “Shhh.” Sometimes there’s singing or story time, and she always

Lola always looks forward to Tuesdays because that's the day that she and her mother go to the library. This book describes what happens on their trips: the children's section, story time, checking out books, and how "no one ever says 'shhh!'" The pastel drawings are bright and attractive and

feature an African American main character. The text is simple and enthusiastic, with liberal use of italics which give the tone an excited, childlike quality. An appealing and simple introduction to what a public library can offer young children, this would be a fine addition to a public or elementary school collection. Show Less

This is a 5 star book because we see growth in the main character, Lola, and begin to care for her more as the story moves forward. It represents the realistic fiction genre because many people are introduced. Also, the setting is woven into the story as Lola goes from home to the library, and back

Originally published in Britain as Lulu Loves the Library (oddly enough, listed on my copy's colophon as Layla Loves the Library), this adorable picture-book for younger children follows the eponymous Lola (here in the states, anyway), as she and her mother head to the library for their weekly
With a simple text - no more than a sentence or two per page - and colorful acrylic illustrations that capture the joy of Lola's day, Lola at the Library is a delightful book, one ideally suited to introducing very young children to the pleasures of the library. I don't entirely understand (as per usual) why it was necessary to change the title of this book, when bringing it over from the UK, but leaving that issue aside, this is one I would wholeheartedly recommend to all young library-lovers, and to their parents! I myself was pleasantly reminded of my own weekly trips to the library as a girl - it was Saturdays for me! - a tradition I have kept up to this day. "Library Day" is always a happy day!

Tuesday visit. From selecting interesting books (Lola likes stories about bears, and about shoes) to singing and story-time (she knows the words and hand movements for Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star), Lola loves everything about the library!

It is about her trip to the library, and how she enjoyed sitting in the class, picking out books, going to the coffee shop & reading the book at bedtime.

"Lola at the Library" by Anna McQuinn is about Lola and her mother goes to the library every Tuesday. Lola gets excited every time she is there. Children can relate to this book because I think they get the same feeling as Lola when they go to the library too.

This book shows how a little girl loves to go to the library and learns about checking books out and she is also being exposed to all kinds of different types of books.

A good book to introduce the library to my PK students.

This was a very sweet story that I liked for a few reasons. My favorite aspect of the story was that it incorporated real life parts of going to the library. The author writes about needed a library card, returning books, the children’s section and checking out new books by buzzing them on the

machine. I think this adds a sense of realness to the story and gives the reader the opportunity to connect it to his or her own real life experience. Another part I liked about the story was the illustrations. They were simplistic but also had details. Lola’s hair was curly and the reader could see some of her more unruly curls. However the books in the library were simply colored lines with minimal details. I think this focused the reader’s attention on the characters and not the background. Finally, I really liked the plot of the story. I thought it was very sweet that Tuesdays were Lola and her mom’s special day to go to the library to get books and then get a treat after. Many readers may be able to relate to having special time with their family. I thought the plot matched the illustrations very well. It was sweet, simple but wonderful. Lola and her mom reading one of the new books was a great ending to the day as well as a adorable ending to the story. The big idea/message of this story is the instillation of the love for the library. Show Less
