In the heart of Willowbrook Town stood the coziest library you ever saw. And in that library worked Niko, the smallest librarian anyone had ever met. He was so small that he needed a special ladder just to reach the middle shelves! But Niko had a wonderful secret - he was incredibly, amazingly, surprisingly strong. Every morning, Niko would arrange the heavy encyclopedias with one hand while humming his favorite tune. The other librarians would shake their heads in wonder. "How does he do it?" they'd whisper to each other.

Most days were peaceful in the library. Children would come to read picture books on the soft cushions. Grown-ups would search for cookbooks and mysteries. And Niko would zip around on his wheeled ladder, helping everyone find exactly what they needed. "Need that astronomy book from the top shelf?" he'd call out cheerfully. "Coming right up!" His strength made every task look easy, from carrying stacks of returned books to moving the heavy reading tables for story time. The regular visitors loved watching him work.
