The summer is here. Time to catch fireflies, hit the beach, swim in the pool… and go to the library!
Of course, you expected me to say that, didn’t you?
I thought this post would be a fun thing to do, since I love the “browse before you buy” concept that comes from our county library. Here is a list of what we found at the library this week.
Susan, almost 11:
Storey’s Guide to Raising Rabbits, Eyewitness Books: Film
Peter, aged 9
Origami Paper Airplanes by Dider Boursin, and three audio books: The Great Brain by John D. Fitzgerald, Swordbird by Nancy Yi Fan and Magic Tree House (books 33- 35) by Mary Pope Osborne
Edmund, almost 7:
Lucy, 4: She’s benefiting from everyone else’s books this week. I have so many preschool books that I have yet to read to her, I didn’t feel like taking anything else home.
I love the assortment of children’s magazines. Cobblestone is featuring Mark Twain and Kids Discover is about earthquakes. My children rarely browse the magazine rack on their own, I’m the one who selects what I think they will like. Peter enjoyed The Adventures of Tom Sawyer on audio as we drove to Florida last month, so that Cobblestone is mostly for him.
It’s been a long time since we’ve borrowed a computer game. The Oregon Trail is still in the CD case next to the kid’s computer. I might have to start playing before they venture forth with it.
What have your children borrowed from your local library lately? Let us know in the comments or trackback, so we may be inspired to futher library browsing fun.
