A storm threatens a beloved library. Can the town save it?
Eli's cherished library faces destruction as a storm swells the nearby river. With his dad, Eli battles the elements to rescue the books. As the waters recede, the entire town must unite to rebuild their beloved sanctuary. Inspired by true events, this tale of community spirit and resilience asks: Can a town's love for its library withstand nature's fury?
Eli loves going to the library for Story Circle, but, one stormy day, the nearby river threatens to flood it. Eli and his dad must brave the storm to help save the books, and, when the storm is over, the whole town must come together to rebuild the library. Inspired by the residents of Lincoln, Vermont, who rebuilt their library on three separate occasions, Saving Eli’s Library showcases one community’s bigheartedness, and the power of water and nature.
