Kid Fun,  Thankful For

We Love This Place!

Books.  I love books.  Love ’em.

The library.  I love the library.  Love it.

We go to the library about once a week and what a treat it is.  The boys get to play with puzzles and games, look at the fish, sometimes they get to do crafts and listen to story-time.  Those things are nice but the best part about the library is being able to borrow books from them, every week, every day if you want!

We wander the aisles looking for titles or covers that catch our eye, we usually grab them and sit down to sort through.  I also get several books on subjects we are studying.  Some we can read and look it while we are there, we keep a separate pile for take-homes.  We usually go to 2 local libraries which are great but about every 3 months we head to the Denver Public Library, Downtown Denver branch.  It has so many cool things to see inside and out.

I am a librarian so I LOVE to see this!! Libraries are a great source of free entertainment. And if your library doesn’t have something you want, just ask them…we are more than happy to buy a copy and I think other libraries are as well!
