It was Pyjama Day at the library.
TT and Whaea Caryn hadn't returned and so there were really no head teachers to tell anyone what to do. This was a strange situation and soon word got round that Whaea Selina was now putting up instructions on the glass door of the library on what to do at school now and only if you could read them you'd have any idea.
She put them in her best handwriting in florescent orange chalk marker, to make it clear.
1. Tomorrow is Pyjama Day. Come to the library in your pyjamas.
2. If you are not wearing your pyjamas, your teachers will take you to McDonalds for work experience emptying rubbish bins.
3. Prizes for the best pyjama and cuddly toy/book combo.
Most of the teachers had agreed that this was the best solution for lazy readers. Some of them thought it was madness but they soon learned Whaea Selina had a method in her madness.
After she'd introduced Lego after much resistance (why did we have Lego books but no actual Lego? she asked the teachers) the boys got busy building weathertight houses. She'd warned them what would happen if they didn't put a proper roof on their houses, by filling up her watering can and watering their creations. If they had no roof it would all collapse and the girls paper dolls inside would get wet.
Then she put on her glasses and went back to reading the rest of Dork Diaries.
Well, she's a librarian the teachers all said, not a teacher, we can't expect her to make kites and paper lanterns , wear correct uniform and yell at everyone like the rest of us.
Some disgruntled teachers murmured that they thought librarians were an odd bunch and did not belong at school. The library monitors were always cutting class and saying they had to work in the library, but who knows what they were really doing in there? Playing hide and seek?
