Anastasia Krupnik had work to do on the written portion of her science fair project about gerbils. Her dad had appointments with some of his students that day, so he agreed to drop her off at the Cambridge Public Library on his way to Harvard.

Anastasia was excited... she had lots of fond memories of storytimes and sing-alongs when she was a little girl, long before Sam came along. And although she would NEVER have admitted it to her mother, she also secretly enjoyed getting dragged along to the library now that Sam was old enough for those activities. She herself preferred to sit in a window seat with a favorite book and look out over the city, while Sam was sitting with the other little kids.

She hadn't often been back to this particular library, though, since her family had relocated to the suburbs.

Her dad walked her to the door of the library, and reminded her to stay in the children's room until he returned. She sighed and raised an eyebrow at him.... to remind HIM that she was old enough to know that! Parents could be so embarrassing.

She took the elevator up to the third floor, and approached the front desk to ask where the reference books on gerbils might be. The lady behind the desk smiled at her. "Our non-fiction section is over that way," she said, pointing. "But since you're interested in gerbils, have you met our pet gerbils, Tallulah and Blanche?" Their tank was at knee-level, right in front of her! Wow, this really was the perfect place for her to have come today!

(To find the Anastasia Krupnik letterbox, go to the library in the city where Anastasia first lived... and also in the city where her author, Lois Lowry, used to live! Follow Anastasia's footsteps to the library, and upstairs to the children's room. Say hello to Tallulah and Blanche, and then let the nice lady behind the desk know what you are looking for. She should be just as helpful to you as she was to Anastasia!)
