This Summer I ventured over to the library in our town for the first time to take the kids to Story Time. I really enjoyed getting out of the house and doing something fun with them that's focused for their age. The library is really fun for kids. They have an entire area dedicated to them with toys, movies, books and games. Our library isn't super big, but it's new! I honestly haven't been in a library in a very long time... besides the CFNI library, which I only went a couple times and it wasn't to read books (it was for other school projects which we ended up going to Panera Bread to finish).
Anyways, I think the library is probably one of the greatest places. A. It's free. Except for late fees, you don't have to pay for anything! You can check out DVDs, audio books, regular books, etc. and you don't have to pay a dime. It doesn't cost anything to get a library card, it's all free! (even story times). B. You get DVDs for a week and books for 3 weeks. The library isn't Blockbuster, but they have a wide variety of movies. Even though our library is small, if they don't have the book you want, they borrow it from another library.
I really appreciate the library and the fact that it has so much to offer. I will be taking full advantage of it from now on. :)
What are some of your favorite books??? I may add them to my reading list...
Here are some books I love:
ReplyDelete- Like Water For Chocolate
- The Time Traveler's Wife
- Pride and Prejudice
- My Sister's Keeper
- A Child Called It
- Blue Like Jazz
- Death By Love
There is nothing better than a book. So any place that offers free books is wonderful - nothing nerdy about it!
ReplyDeleteI agree with The Time Traveler's Wife - just beware that it's got sex and swearing. :)
My Sister's Keeper is heartbreaking. And Pride and Prejudice is a must.
I would also add The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns. I have tons of books if you ever want to come, look, and borrow some.
Our library doesn't do late fees ... just very annoying phone calls. Another plus!
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of the above book suggestions. Of course Hunger Games as well!
