Look What Happend Today!!!

Well we finally ventured out into the cold and went to the library! It was nice to be there, I have missed it! I did not get to get a book for me, but that is ok, I have a couple. But they have a good children's library, it is separate from the adult library, same building but the children's is down stairs. They even have an area with toys! It was nice because they had all the books little kids might like in the center in almost bins, separated by first letter, or they had a couple popular areas, like a bin for all the Aurthur books. Then under the bins there was a bin sideways, that is where all the board books were. This wasn't little ether, probably 8 feet long, 2 bins deep.

The big news was that Riley got his very own library card! The rule was that he had to be able to write his name (full) on the little line. We have been working up to this for a couple years, it made it so special! We filled out the info, then we started looking for books, when the librarian was finished making the card she called Riley, he went up and got it then came running back and gave me a big hug! He is so proud of himself!! Then after he had picked out 3 books he got to go check them out by himself! The librarian was great, explaining all of it, and telling him when they were due. Now Jake is looking forward to when he gets to get his own! So here is Riley with his books (are you surprised about the first book?) and his library card. He is so excited! I hope it lasts!!

  1. That is so neat! I have always loved libraries. Riley looks so grown-up.
