Ladies and gentlemen!
My name is Paul Libraryman, and I am the advocate for the Canton Public Library's REIGNING, DEFENDING, UNDISPUTED chief mascot... THORNDYKE!
It's a title he proudly bears (pun absolutely intended) for every library lover who walks through these doors. It doesn't matter if you’re training at Spy School, surviving as a Wimpy Kid, teaming up with Dog Man, adventuring in the Magic Treehouse or are part of any other legendary squad—Thorndyke represents YOU!
But listen up, folks! A new challenger has appeared...
Down in the Teen Space sits a newcomer. With their snazzy glasses and stylish scarf, they look... refined. Maybe even a little smug? Are they looking down on us? Hard to say. But hey, maybe it’s just because they’ve got wings and spend a lot of time flying up high.
Either way, a title means nothing if it isn’t defended! So, during April it’s going to be Thorndyke vs. Bubbles for the title of Canton Public Library's Best Mascot!
Bubbles, do you accept our challenge?
"So, Thorndyke's advocate thinks they can just waltz in here and challenge me? Sigh. Please. Why should I care about that kind of baby stuff? I mean, come on—I'm the HIGH-FLYIN'! STYLIN'! PROFILIN'! mascot of the Teen Space! WOO!
And you know what? While Thorndyke's reading list is full of spies, wizards and wimpy kids, I roll with some next-level stories! I stand for the clever schemers pulling off impossible heists like in Six of Crows, the magic-wielding warriors of destiny in Legendborn, the daring space cadets saving the galaxy in Aurora Rising, and the shadowy power players of Shadow and Bone. These are the stories that soar just like me!
But you know what? I never back down from a challenge. Thorndyke, you and your little hype team better be ready. Because when I step into the ring, it's game over."
Get ready for the showdown! Will Thorndyke defend his title and continue to reign supreme? Or will Bubbles soar to victory and claim the crown? Stay tuned, library fans, as this is one event you won't want to miss.
