[Mr. Billy the Librarian @3kingvisions]

As a librarian..when I do a storytime I try to make sure I give the best performance every time!! I want every kid to get a positive experience of the love of reading!! Let’s normalize librarians and educators being the heroes for youth rather than athletes or entertainers!
