The man in the yellow hat takes George for his very first visit to the library. George can't believe how many books there are and loads up a trolley with his favourites; but then the trolley picks up speed and crashes - what a mess! With the help of the librarian and the other children, the books are all picked up and sorted out, and George is left with a small pile of his favourites. He is even given a new library card so that he can borrow more books when he visits again.
