Something about the library. Sure, it's quiet, you think that's the reason I go there.....because it's never quiet around the house and when we go there, it's a guarantee?
Okay, busted, that's part of the reason. But, the main reason is, whenever I say we are going, the kids do their best FLASH impression and are in the car ready before I have even found my keys. This is an exciting place to them, a place of possibility, a place of independence, a place of purpose; to find and carry as many books as possible to the front desk without dropping them and disturbing the aforementioned peace and quiet.
Just a comment about how great it is to preorder the books online before heading out. Our library will ship them from any of 8 libraries in their system and it's a rare day that I can't get at least 8 of 10 of the MFW recommendations. So easy and efficient, tada!
ahhh. this makes me so happy! readers at such early ages! now i i can just get abby going in the same mode. :) xo
