I Love My Library
I don’t know if it’s global warming, but we are still playing outside and it’s November. The weather seems to be planning to return to it’s regularly scheduled broadcast, and there’s snow for later this week. So as is much more normal for this time of year, it’s time to find inside activities for my son.
We’ve been visiting the library since he was a baby. When he was a tiny baby, he loved to sit on my lap during the story time. I was always nervous of borrowing books for a little baby, knowing they had been chewed and drooled on by many many other babies and that board books don’t get cleaned. But now he’s older and into everything, germs and all, I’m not as worried about dirt, and we take home a heap of books almost every week.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been reading to him almost since he was born, but he’s always loved books. Typically for a toddler, he’ll want to read one book 32 times in a row then be bored of it. So the library is perfect source of ever-new books.
And even returning the books is fun, he loves to post the books into the chute to return them.
Today, as well as a pile of picture books, I checked out a heap of the latest CDs for me, and optimistically, a couple of books which I admit, I won’t find the time to read, but I’m an optimist!
Benefits for mom, for baby, educational and all free. I love the library!
