The Lost Library Card Story By: Judie Eberhardt Lisa loved to read! Every time her Mom took her to the bookstore, she would buy two books. By the time she went to bed, Lisa had already read one of them. Mom said to Lisa the next day, "I think we need to get you your own library card." "Wow!" cried Lisa. "'ve always wanted a library card." The next day after school, Mom took Lisa to the library to get her a card. The lady at the desk asked Mom to fill out a paper and then asked Lisa to print her name. She then told Lisa how many books she could borrow on her card. Lisa was so excited! She could hardly wait to search the many shelves of books. Lisa's favorite books were mysteries. She liked to solve the mystery in her head and see if she was right when she got to the end of the story. Her other favorite books were ones that took her to faraway places. Lisa had three books to return the next day and was excited to take out three more. However, when Lisa got to the library, she didn't have her card. "Oh no!" Lisa said to the lady at the desk. "I can't find my library card!" "I'm sorry," said the lady. "I can't let you take any books without your card." Lisa left the library feeling very sad and also worried what her Mom would say when she told her she lost her card. When Lisa got home, Mom told Lisa that a boy came to the house with her library card, and he said he found it on the sidewalk near the library. "It must have dropped out of one of the books I was carrying," said Lisa. "You were lucky that boy found your card," said Mom. "You need to be very careful." "Having a library card is a big responsibility." Lisa said, "I think I will keep it in my wallet." Mom said, "Let's go back to the library and get those books you wanted." "Sounds great," said Lisa. When they got to the library, Mom decided to get some books too. While they were in the library, Mom told Lisa the boy that found her card was sitting at the round table. Lisa went over to him and said, "Thank you for finding my card." He told Lisa he was glad to help, and they both looked for some mystery books together. Lisa had her books, her card, and a new friend too!
