Why is reading in the summer more magical than during the school year? Especially for me and the state of life I am currently in (it's like summer vacation all year). Summer reading is still magical though. For the last several months I have been taking Anna to the library for Lap Time (story time for little kids). We love it! I love the library! I made Anna a special "library book" bag. Each week we go and check out all the board books we can cram into the bag. It has been a fun chance for her to interact with other little kids, listen to stories, and to sing fun songs. The teacher in me just eats it up every week.
Last week was special because it was the Teddy Bear Picnic. They had a Wizard of Oz theme (What does that has to do with the Teddy Bear Picnic????? Who knows!). The library was all decked out Yellow Brick Road and all. There were storytellers that told great stories. Anna was happy and sat through the whole thing. So yeah for the library! We are there every Thursday morning at 10:30am. Come one, come all, you'll love it too!
Oh, and if you haven't been to the Orem library lately, they have a new way to check out books that is pretty cool. It is worth going just to check out a book using their new computer system. Today it was funny though, it started checking my books out before I even pulled them out of the bag. So friendly warning the system is a little sensitive.

glad you are enjoying your year long summer of reading and fun at the library!
Your story time looks like so much fun. Last week the girls painted at ours, I thought the librarians were very brave! Maybe we will have to come for story hour when we come down!
I really miss the story times at the library. For some reason, my boys just don't want to go to them any more. Oh well, we get to do a lot of other fun things together! You are such a great mom!
gonna get a book check it in check it out. Remember that?
Nikki-I remember-and I remember who Julie's date was that night!! Hahahahahaha:) Oh the good times....anyway....I have never taken my kids to the library. I am scared-I saw how they were at Blockbuster-I am very scared to take them to the library!! One day-I guess I need to get a library card-that would be my first step. I need to do better in the learning department. Way to be my example:)
