(sung to the tune of “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”)

Press play to sing along with the instrumental track!

It’s the best library time of the year
With no more children yelling
And no one is telling you “get it in gear!”
It’s the best library time of the year

It’s the qui-quietest season at school
Only smile-filled greetings and no more dull meetings
Where bosses are cruel
It’s the qui-quietest season at school

There’ll be books for re-stocking
Vendor end-of-year-hawking
And overdue fine cash for beer
Send the word out to pre-schools
Drag queen visit sched-ules for
Story times in the new year

It’s the best library time of the year
There’ll be no mistletoeing
Or biblical knowing
When HR is near
It’s the best library time of the year

There’ll be patrons expiring
And old folks retiring
And overdue slips in the mail
There’ll be “nasty stuff” stories
Retold as the glories, A
things found in bookdrops tall tale.

It’s the best library time of the year
There’ll be no cataloging
Or toilet unclogging
The parking lot’s clear
It’s the best library time
Yes the best library time
Oh the best library time
Of the year
