          Ever wondered if those objects in the Grimm tales could ever have some magic to them?  Ever wonder if some libraries have more to them than meets the eye? This story will take you on an adventure with surprises woven into today's world of the New York Circulating Materials Repository.  There are real life artifacts collected here from all over the world.  Theaters rent many of the costumes and objects out.  So do people from all walks of life.  Elizabeth takes a job in this library hoping to make friends.  She is new to the city and adjusting to a new school.  One of her teachers kindly recommended her for this job. She strives to be responsible and earn the respect of her trainers. The Grimm objects are in a secret room and some of the items are disappearing.  Elizabeth and her friends begin a quest to solve the mystery.  This is very well written and will keep you guessing.  See the web page at
