At first she was so shy and wouldn’t leave my lap, but now she gets up and dances and watches the other children. She has started babling more and trying to talk a little better so it’s also great for her development.

I wish he was, the library is convenient and free! We try every couple of months but after the first story/song, he bolts for the door and the children’s-height water fountain.

I haven’t been back for story hour since having the third, but we still frequent the library every few weeks for books and DVDs galore. There is nothing that entertains them more or longer than a pile of new books to sort through and a special new movie.

Love, love, love the library!

Great challenge!

She was terrified of all the songs and activity at first, haha. But it was such a godsend for me. 20 minutes of singing and usually an hour of moms and dads lingering to chat with each other. As a new SAHM I was desperately lonely and it gave me a connection to other adults. We also learned some fun songs to sing at home and in the car. Chatting with other moms also clued me in to other activities not only at different branches of the library, but local playgroups and baby “classes” I hadn’t known of before. My daughter is to go-go-go anymore to enjoy these programs, but I think another year from now she’ll enjoy them again and I know we’ll be back!

Follow this link for a list of current events. I might also add that juveniles don’t pay late fees on materials. The items must be checked out on the child’s own card, and if you lose the item you still have to pay to replace it, but if it’s returned overdue there is no fine.

On the other hand, please don’t encourage your readers to “space out” during programs. It’s insulting when parents don’t pay attention during programs.
