This summer, Sophia and Lleyton got their own library cards. They were SO excited! We really enjoy going to the library. The strangest thing happened when we went to get their cards - the librarian actually tried to talk us out of getting cards for them! What?! Aren't they supposed to encourage children to get their own library cards? I guess that she was probably trying to save me some time and confusion, since it is difficult for me to keep track of my own card. The BEST thing, though, is that I was able to get a new card that actually goes onto my keychain with all of my store cards. Now, it won't be so easy to lose. :)I don't have a picture, but Alexandra started as a library volunteer this summer. She works once a week shelving books and helping patrons. She really enjoys it. I think it is great experience for her. She has a schedule, a "boss," and responsibility.
I wish mine had a keychain thinger! The kids all (except Talin, our rule is 5yr.) got cards to the Library at our new house at the beginning of the summer - pretty funny getting so many at once. They love being able to use their own card, and all the reminders go to my email, so it's not much different. I wonder if our library has a volunteer program - that's really cool!
