Library Lion is a children's book written by Michelle Knudsen, illustrated by Kevin Hawkes, and released in 2006 by Candlewick Press.

Miss Merriweather, the head librarian, is very particular about rules in the library.

As it turns out, this lion seems very well suited to library visiting.

He makes a comfy backrest for the children during story hour and never roars in the library, at least not anymore.

In School Library Journal, Kathy Krasniewicz called Library Lion "a winsome pairing of text and illustration" adding that it is a "natural for story time and a first purchase for every collection".
