This film follows Dick, a boy who initially sees the library as a dull place where he can't play. After being asked to return a book, he discovers a model sailboat book that sparks his interest. The librarian guides him, showing him a special collection of hobby books and introducing him to the concept of borrowing. Dick learns that the library is a place with diverse resources for various hobbies and interests, and that librarians are helpful guides. He also learns about the library's system of cards for books and readers, and the need for parental permission to borrow. Ultimately, Dick realizes the library is an exciting and friendly place, convincing his friend Eddie of its value, likening it to a playground with open gates.
