I love the library!
With summer here, most public libraries are gearing up their summer
reading programs and some larger libraries even have programs for the
adults with prizes! Who doesn't love prizes? Your kids will love checking
out their own books and tracking either how long they've read, or how many
they've read (each library has it's own system). The look of
joy on their faces is awesome when they receive their prizes; and they feel
so proud of themselves for accomplishing something!
Using your library is so great for many reasons. First and foremost-you
save so much money when you use your library! I went to the library last
week, picked out a few books and magazines for myself, a few for my
children and 3 DVD's. The librarians helped me calculate just how much
each thing cost and it came out to a whopping $232.00. Wow- that was just
for one week. Most libraries offer so much more than just books. Most
offer cd's, VHS, DVD's, newspapers, magazines, group activities and
classes, research options, computer and internet access, the children's
areas generally have story time, classes, crafts, activities, puppet
shows, reading areas where the kids can just hang out, and computer games
that are free to play.

Moms and dads alike can
enjoy the latest magazines and books while being comfy in a big chair.
It's a great place to meet other moms and for you to meet with your
friends to take kids to story time. Make it a play date!
Many libraries offer something called an inter-library loan, meaning if
they don't have the particular book you want , they can get it from
another library! Just think- the options are endless! So go to the
library, pick out a good book and read! Or maybe a newspaper, magazine,
movie, cd- The possibilities are endless!!!
