The Library Card, by Jerry Spinelli, is a great influence for kids and libraries. This book has four stories in it, each with a kid that has some kind of problem. Each kid finds a mysteriously blue library card and something amazing happens. They will never be the same again! I recommend this book to all ages.

The Library Card takes place in recent times. Although all of the stories in this book may be fiction, libraries are very educational and can truly save people.
