It was story time for FOX 13 News anchor Robyn Oguinye, but the storyteller wasn't who you would suspect.

“Two witches, they’re supposed to go to school but they’re in a human town and they missed the bus and nobody knows where the school actually is…,” explained Layla, a Guadalupe School third grader, about one of her favorite books.“I like where there is a lot of adventure and stuff, like kind of just a normal person’s life but a big plot twist happens,” she said.

“We only had three soccer books when I came in," said school librarian Angi Castillo,"and so we’ve gotten a lot of more non-fiction soccer books as well as I’m trying to get fiction ones so they have stories about soccer.” “I’ll take into account if they ask me can you get this series or look into this? I’ll do research if I don’t know what it is or if I already know, 'Oh, they’re checking out a lot of dog bucks,' let’s get some more dog books on the shelves,” she said.“I can see lots of books, but one thing I don’t like about it is that there’s so many books I like that I just can’t choose," explained Jeilyn.

“We’re doing library cards this year so the scanning process will just get easier and not all of them are familiar with a library card system, which means they haven’t gone to a public library as often ... and so this introduces them to books they might not know,” Castillo explained.
