About this story
The best first impression starts before you say hello. Rachel Kim loves the Elmwood Public Library: the smell of old paper, the squeaky cart, the reading nook shaped like a whale. When it posts a sign for a Junior Library Helper, she gets her first-ever interview. Her family has advice: firm handshake, eye contact, don't be weird. But her grandmother knows the real secret of manners. A story about manners and first impressions. Ages 10-13, Grades 5-8.
