I've been preforming for Public Libraries for more than 20 years.  This is an original song I wrote about my passion for reading and the Libraries.

If You Give a Kid a Library Card
words and music by Russ Rogers

If you give a kid a really good book
They might crack it open and read
And if they start to read, it might become their best friend
'Cause it could take them on a journey that never ends

'Cause if you give a kid a really good book
I think that you are going to find
That every time a kid opens a book
The book will open up their mind

And if you give a kid a Library Card
They'll probably want to check out a book
And if they check out a book, who know what might get done
It might change their whole life of just give them some fun

Cause if you give a kid a Library Card
I think that you are going to find
That every time a kid opens a book
The book will open up their mind
The book will open up their mind

Oh, come to the Library
It is absolutely free...
Unless you don't bring your books back on time
Then you might have to pay a little Library Fine
But that's fine
Hey people, that's fine!

'Cause if you give a kid a Library Card
I think that you are going to find
That every time a kid opens a book
The book will open up their mind
The book will open up their mind
The book will open up their mind
I say... huh!
The book will open up their mind!
