Duncan, the green dragon, is the biggest one, and he thinks he's in charge because of his size. That doesn't make him mean, though. He's actually quite protective of Donut and Munchkin, who are both small. He's really excited that a book, Duncan the Story Dragon, has been written recently about him and that you can get this book at the library.
Donut, the red dragon, is Duncan's trusty sidekick. Despite being smaller, he thinks he can do anything Duncan can (and he usually succeeds). When Duncan needs a break from his duties at the library, Donut is more than happy to step in. He's excited that Duncan got a book published, but he's hoping to get his own book sometime soon.
Munchkin, the blue dragon, is rather shy, so you don't see him as much as you see Duncan and Donut. He likes hanging out in the back of the library where it's more quiet, but sometimes he comes out to see what's happening in the front. Although he prefers being left out of the spotlight, Munchkin is willing to help Duncan and Donut whenever he's needed.
For most of the year you can see Duncan and Donut protecting our knight behind the perch. During the summer, however, Duncan and Donut like taking turns hiding around the library in different spots each week and seeing if the kids can find them. Munchkin spends most of his time in the back reading, but next summer he'll probably take a turn at playing hide and seek with the kids.
Next time you're in the library, don't forget The Library Dragons. Be sure to give a nod to Duncan and Donut and pass on a hello to Munchkin. And don't forget to read Duncan the Story Dragon.
Ever bookishly yours from the perch.
Correction: Dona has since informed me that Munchkin is actually a blue dinosaur who thinks he's a dragon because he wants to be cool like Duncan and Donut. -The Perch Librarian
