“Jackie, hurry up we’re going to be late!” yelled Rex from downstairs. “I know!” she yelled back, and then to herself she said, “Sheesh, he acts like it’s a meeting with the president.” Although in some ways it was. They had been chosen out of many applicants to help Mr. Linden around the library. Finally, Jackie was ready and she walked downstairs to meet her friend. In the car, Rex talked about all the things they might find in Mr. Linden's office, while Jackie pretended to pay attention. “I’ll bet he has a severed head.” said Rex. “Hm? Oh yeah, maybe.” Jackie said. Then she realized what Rex had actually said, “I mean, no of course he doesn’t!” she yelled. After what seemed like forever they finally reached the library. When they got out of the car Jackie’s mom said “Remember to be cheerful, helpful, and polite.” “We know mom.” Jackie said exasperated “You got it Mrs. M.” said Rex. As they walked up the front steps Rex was so excited that his hazel shone gold. Jackie had always been jealous of Rex, he had fiery red hair, hazel eyes, and he was tall. She was the opposite, she had jet black hair, black eyes, a black eye (because she accidentally ran into a brick wall at recess. Don’t judge her! Not everyone has the best sense of direction when playing tag.) and she was short. Rex always said she was beautiful, but she disagreed. When they walked up to the front desk Jakie proudly presented their form and said, “We’re Mr. Linden's contest winners.” “Follow me.” said the receptionist in a voice that sounded like Roz from Monsters Inc. Jackie was sure that there were so many books in Mr. Linden’s office alone that no one would ever be able to read all of them in their entire lifetime. His office was crammed wall to wall with books, there were books on cooking, books on hair care, there were even books about books! There were so many books that not all of them fit on the bookshelves, so a lot of them were in piles on the floor. There were also a lot of papers. In the middle of this mess there was a desk covered in papers, and books, and a lot of other things Jackie had never seen before Jackie was so amazed with all the books that she forgot to look where she was going and ran straight into Mr. Linden himself. “Whoa. Look out there, wouldn’t want to give you another black eye.” Mr. Linden said. “I’m sorry sir.” Jackie said. “It’s fine.” he said. Rex walked over from where he had been standing, which was by Mr. Linden’s bookshelf filled with books about musical theater, and asked “What can we help with today?” “I need some help in the back room. Jackie, you stay here and I’ll be back soon to help you.” “What should I do?” Jackie asked. “Just look around a bit.” Mr. Linden said. After a little while Mr. Linden came back. “Did you find something to entertain yourself with?” he asked. “Yes sir.” Jackie said, which was not actually true. She had just kind of stood there looking at stuff. “Good, I now i have a job for you,” Mr. Linden said. “I want you to take the books in that pile and put them on the shelves.” He pointed to a pile of books on plants. “Yes sir.” Jackie said. She took the books and looked at the call number on one of them. The San Mateo County Library is one of the few libraries left that uses the Dewey Decimal System, and even they were thinking of getting rid of it. Jackie liked the system, it was easy to remember. The call number on the book she looked at was 575.57, Fiddleheads to Fir Trees: Leaves in every season. Another one was How a Seed Grows number 582.0166. She put away the books and went to get some more. These ones were about war, all of them around 950 on the shelf. After they had done their chores they were free to explore the library, Jackie decided to sit down and read a book. The one she chose was called The Reader, it was the first of the Sea, Ink, and Gold series. Rex, on the other hand,
