The School Library Pep Squad (図書ガールズ?, Tosho Girls), also known as the Cheer Readers, is a group of twelve teenage[1] girls who cheer people on with their books in the game Cheer Readers.
Story
The School Library Pep Squad can be found practicing their cheering act at the school library. Their goal is to support people who are studying hard. They are later found supporting museum patrons as well. They use a total of five cheers, being "One! Two! Three!", "It's up to you!", "Rah-rah sis boom bah-BOOM!", "Let's go read a buncha books!", each with their own patterns of book flipping, and "OK, it's on!", during which they open their books in unison to form a single image.
The School Library Pep Squad has a total of 8 rules regarding their cheering act:
○ Energy is key!
○ Everybody pitches in to clean the practice room.
○ Practice your finger work! Don't get the wrong page.
○ When everyone's pages are synchronized, we all win. When it happens, give a cheer for your squadmates.
○ To prevent your books getting mixed up, write your name on the back cover.
○ If you will miss practice for any reason, clear it with the captain at least a day in advance.
○ If you read a good book, post it on the team's blog and share it with everyone!
○ The "BOOM" part of "Rah-rah sis boom ba-BOOM" is key. Say it with pep, and let 'em know you mean it!
Since the squad started their routine, more and more people are studying at the library. Those who need a quiet place to read instead go to the playground[2].
The girls appear in a Nintendo Badge Arcade set, whose names in the Japanese version assign each girl a different job.

Trivia
- Oddly, the artwork for the squad member used in Rhythm Heaven Megamix gives her paler skin and non-white sclera, details which are not reflected during gameplay, where all the girls look the same as they were in Rhythm Heaven Fever. Oddly, her left hand still has the same skin tone as in Rhythm Heaven Fever.
- The information given in the Rhythm Items is generally consistent across languages, but some alter certain details. For example, people who want a quiet place to read go to the gymnasium in the French version[3] or the stadium in the Italian version[4] rather than the playground, while the Spanish version simply says no one can concentrate on reading[5].
