Mysterious Little People Some little people have moved into the Youth Department. I don't mean the kids who visit us and go home with books, movies and music; I mean leprechauns and gnomes.

Maybe they come alive once everyone has left the library for the day. If you'd like to see them, you'll find them at the Youth Department desk.
