Prompt -
Do you have any books on world domination?

The question was quite peculiar. Nor was it one that I thought I would hear at well…Any point in time. I looked down at the small child, his eyes wide with curiosity as he waited rather impatiently for an answer. A snicker almost left me as I took in the question. Tilting my head just a bit to the side, I shrugged.
"Sorry kid, I'm not sure what genre that would be under." Although I laughed it as a joke, the child puffed out his cheeks.
"Listen, I must get this information! It's super, duper important." He was insistent. I could give him that! I managed to cover another laugh by coughing into my hand and leaning down.
"Maybe check over in the military fiction? But that's mostly for teenagers and..." I was about to continue with some lecture on how he was probably too young for it however, the kid deemed that bit of information good enough. I shrugged, as he was a literal child. Though I scanned my eyes around the library. Aside from some of the persons that often hung around, I didn't see anyone else that could've been the kid's parent or sibling.
"Such a weird kid did he..." I muttered before noticing him as he held a good number of books in his arms. Rather than come to the check-out, he situated himself at a nearby table. Shortly after, another librarian took over so I could grab some lunch. Rather than head out immediately, I did stop by his table.
"You find what you were looking for?" I was curious about what this child found. He looked up a bit confused before grinning rather excitedly.
"Not completely, but I've got some pretty cool ideas now!"
