Ronan the Librarian celebrates the joy of reading and the importance of libraries. But barbarians don’t read books, remember? Ronan will have to put his leadership skills to good use if he wants to share his newfound love of reading. So he builds a library and invites his friends to the grand opening. Soon, Ronan has collected so many books, he needs somewhere to keep them all. Ronan continues to invade and raid and pick up books. Soon, he can’t stop reading! He reads all through the night and almost misses the next day’s raid. He’s about to use the book as toilet paper when he starts to read. As everyone knows, barbarians don’t read books.

But when Ronan picks up a book on a raid, nobody will trade him for it. They collect all sorts of treasures to trade when they return home. Ronan the Librarian is about a big, fierce barbarian who leads his people on raids.
