HOW TO DESTROY AN AMERICAN GIRL DOLL

DAUGHTERS OF THE DEWEY DECIMAL

1995 A.D. The Library of Alexandria has just switched from a card catalogue to a computer. Penny's in a panic, Lori knows it's the future and Morgan's stuck in between. Everyone else just wants to talk about aliens. And no one knows yet that the Library's gonna burn.
