Share a Story-Shape a Future: Visiting the Library

Day Four . . . Share a Story-Shape a Future: A Visit to the Library

I LOVE going to the library! It is such a wonderful feeling for me to be surrounded by so many books!! I take my kids to the library every week. We make a point to check out books each and every week, but also check out videos and audio books as well. We also participate in as many of the activities as possible . . . weekly storytimes, lapsits, themed storytimes, etc. and I cannot forget to mention my personal favorite of the library used book sales. I am sure to find a treasure every time! The last couple of years we have been so blessed to have an amazing library near us. I just hope that our next move will take us to a location with one that is just as great! I don't know what we would do without our local library!!

Anyways, moving on to this event . . .

Guest Posts: Again, I am just highlighting my personal favorites with short comments. I highly encourage you to visit the actual post linked above for more great information! You may just find yourself in the midst of a virtual tour of libraries around the world!!

• From Cozy to Cool - Library Spaces for Everyone by Eva M. at Eva's Book Addiction: This is a very cool post about how children's sections in libraries have evolved over the years. I personally believe that this also applies to our book areas at home. Have you created a book area for your child? If not, it's a must for everyone!!

Resources:

• ABC Storytime by MotherReader: MotherReader provides storytime ideas, including book suggestions, fingerplays, and rhymes . . . all based on letters of the alphabet! It's still a work in progress, but definitely one you will want to follow!
