8岁男孩自制绘本走红当地 要等待一年才能借阅到

8-year-old Dillon Helbig has drew much attention over social media for his lovely book “The Adventures of Dillon Helbig’s Crismis” that he made all by himself. And he left it on a bookshelf at the Ada Community Library. 

While visiting the library with his grandmother, he held the 81-page book to his chest as he passed the librarians. Then he put the book onto a children’s book shelf without anyone seeing him do it. “I wanted to put my book in the library center since I was 5, and I always had a love for books and libraries,” he said. “I wanted people to read it.”

After his mom discovered that Dillon left his book at the library, they returned only to find the book was missing from the spot where Dillon put it. That’s because the manager Alex Hartman and a few coworkers had already discovered and read Dillon’s book. They not only loved it, but decided it met the selection criteria(选择标准). So, with Dillon’s parents’ permission, they stuck a bar code(条形码) on it and added it to the library’s collection.

Alex Hartman said, a reader checked out the only copy of “The Adventures of Dillon Helbig’s Crismis” days ago and now there’s a 55-person wait-list. Library readers are allowed to keep books for up to four weeks.

Dillon, who aspires to become the next big comic book writer, already has plans for his next book, “The Jacket Eating Closet” which is based on a true story. “Every time in kindergarten, I put my jacket in the closet and during the break, it would be gone. The jackets are still gone and that’s why I’m making the book,” he said.
