PERC Center

Anna and I have been enjoying the PERC Center lately. PERC is the "Parent Education Resource Center." Basically it is a room in the basement of the library that has TONS of cool things that kids like to play with and that you can use to teach your kids stuff...all for FREE!!! You can check the stuff out, just like library books. I have heard about the PERC center from friends and family, but it was only recently as Anna has started showing interest in wooden puzzles that I thought about going and checking something out. We own two wooden puzzles and Anna loves them. I kept thinking it would be nice to buy her more, but let's be honest, money doesn't grow on trees. That is when I remembered the PERC center and I thought, "Maybe they have puzzles?" Oh boy, do they! They have puzzles and games and movies and toys and tons of stuff. It has been fun to get "new toys" and good teaching toys at that, each week. I am so grateful for resources like this! If you haven't been there you should check it out.

Oh, I'm glad you posted this because I totally forgot about this place! Do you know their hours? I've heard that they are not open very often.
