Let me intoduce myself,

I live upon a dusty shelf.

With other sorts who do the same.

I have a title to my name.

I have a jacket without sleeves.

I'm not a plant, yet I have leaves.

It's also true, I'm not a tree,

Through that is what I used to be.

I'm full of words, but cannot speak.

I sometimes vanish for a week.

And then return to my dear nook.

You've guessed it - I'm a library book.
