Check Out Your Local Library
I love going to the library, and I go there at least once a week. My fascination is with the collection of books, magazines, and newspapers. I could spend hours at the library browsing through many different sections of it.
Addition to books, magazines and newspapers, the library now has two rows of computers, audio books, music CDs, and movies for patrons' conveniences. Remarkably how technology has an impact on this old institution! Things have to change to accommodate society's needs.
Do you know that the library also has many wonderful programs, free of charge? Here are some to check out:
These days, you can put the library to good use to save money on entertainment, renting movies, or use the computer to search for job. Not only most programs are educational, they are also fun for your children.
I enrolled my son in summer reading, craft time, and signed up for Science Night! He loves it! Last year, he came in second with his bookmark coloring contest and won a $25 gift card!
Keep your children involve in summer reading program to maintain their skills over the summer vacation!

I am so jealous as we have no library here in Cyprus that I can access.
ReplyDeleteI love the library and think it's wonderful that we can borrow books and DVD's for free. I didn't realize all the special programs the library offered. Wow, congratulations to your son for his artwork!
ReplyDeleteI love going to the library too. I also try to go once a week. There are so many different books to choose from. I also take a sign language class at the library. I'm glad to know that other people love the library too.

ReplyDeleteReading and educational activities are so important especially for children Great post Icy.
ReplyDeleteOur small town has a little library... it has been years since I've visited... I should really stop by sometime ^.^
ReplyDeleteWe have four libraries (that I know of) within 15 minutes of my home. I need to visit more often. You always see something interesting, especially at the college library.
ReplyDeleteGood topic. Thanks, Icy. Take care & God bless!

ReplyDeleteI would be very sad if there is no library :-(

Libraries now have to compete with so many things to stay open.
