Library Day

Looking for a fun, free activity to do with your children this summer?
Check out your local library!

Today I took my girls to our local library for Preschool Story Time. I was really impressed, and all 3 of us had an enjoyable time. We sang songs, the librarian read books to us, and we also did something special today. The theme this summer is Bugs. The library had butterfly coccoons that hatched out last week. After story time, we all went outside where the librarian released the painted lady butterflies!
I signed my children up for the Summer Reading Program. They put a tree on the wall and a leaf with each child's name on it. For every 2 hours of reading, the child receives a bug to tape on the tree. At the end of the summer they will have a party for everyone who participated in the summer reading program. I remember going to the library and participating when I was a child. What a great way to improve/maintain your child's reading skills over the summer!

Of course, the library is not just for children! They have many activities for adults also. So if it has been a while since you visited your library, take some time this summer to get reaquainted.
