The phrase "Look to the Books!" is a reference to the wonderful book, The Pagemaster, an adventurous tale in which library books come to life! The 1994 movie, "The Pagemaster" was based on the book David M. Kirschner co-wrote in 1993. It was named the American Library Association's "Children's Book of the Year" and went on to be published in 14 languages. To learn more, please visit my website about this wonderful story.
