Summer Library Programs!

For the second year now, we are planning on spending much time at our county library! All over the country, libraries are running summer reading programs with great incentive for the kids to turn off the TV and open up their imaginations! A couple perks about most summer library reading programs:

1. Totally FREE to sign up
2. Great prizes for kids and sometimes even adults (I am signed up!)
3. Introduces kids to the way the library works
4. FREE....oh yeah I said that....but that's important to me :)
5. Many time libraries put on great kids programs all throughout the summer including story times, shows, music etc.

What we do: We sign up for the reading program then check out some new books. That day our nap-time activity (for the olders) is to read the new books! We then plan on one day a week spending some more time at the library for the REST of the summer. They check in with their reading log and get their prize, get some new books and we get some free and educational fun :)

Yesterday we went to our local branch of the library and signed up, and then stayed for a great show they were putting on in the back....gotta love some MAGIC with some live animals! The kids were mesmerized!

So get on out there to your local library and sign up. I promise you that you will not be disappointed!
