A trip to the library is free and fun. It’s a great place to
take your children this summer. They have tons of programs available for
children of all ages and resources for everyone in the family.
Libraries are great places for everyone to learn about
something new. Most libraries have
DVD’s, CDs, magazines, audio books, computer usage and more. Check your
local library to see what they offer.
Our state has the Metropolitan Library System and each
library is joined together so you can get resources from all of the libraries.
If there is a book or something else that you want to check out and the current
library doesn’t have it available, you can get it sent to your nearest library
and pick it up a couple of days later. They can do this with almost any media
they have.
Libraries offer programs for all ages. They have concerts,
craft classes, animal classes and educational classes too. They are free to the
community.
During the summer months the libraries offer a summer
reading program for kids birth-teen. The children get rewarded for how many
books they read and get entered into drawings for prizes. Over the years we
have gotten coupons, trinkets and tickets to our local museums and sports
games.
The library system also has an app that you can download on
your smart phone to check out audio books. It’s a free app and free downloads.
You check them out using your library card and listen to them and after the
lending period is up they get check back in automatically. The app is called
Overdrive. Download it to see if your local library is available.
If you haven’t been to your local library lately, check it
out. It’s full of exciting things to learn about and I promise your kids will
find something they like. If you have kids that don’t like to read the library
offers comic books, craft books, magazines, art books and books on drawing. They are sure to find something fun.
What’s your favorite thing to do at your library?
