Love the Library

London has a lot of libraries. It's wonderful, especially now with computers, we can go online and look up books we want and place holds on them. I get emailed when they arrive at my closest library. When it's time to return them, I get a reminder email 3 days prior, or a renew them. We mostly go to the downtown one. It has a large children's section, and we love the ladies that do story time, with music too. We also go to our local one, Cherryhill. The staff are really nice and friendly. They are great with Anthony, and let him use his card. He is good at finding books he likes. Lately, it's been non-fiction ones about transportation. One visit recently, he spotted the New Cars 2 book, on the top shelf. I think I'll buy that one, since he loves it so much. It has all the characters names and where they're from, and what they can do. I thought they were all race cars. No, he set me straight. lol. Videos are great too, well some are scratched and don't work well, but still good that our taxes are paying for them. We just need to remember to return them after a week, or renew them. It's $1/day fine for them.

Today, Anthony was suppose to start JK. Unfortunately, he has had a fever the past two days. I called to let them know he wouldn't be there. We were both bummed out, he was so excited to go. I hope Monday will still be a memorable first day for him. I'm proud to know that he will be starting school already enjoying books. One milestone he had this year, is repeating the book I read to him back to me. Sometimes, even the first time we've read it. Ava likes looking at the animal books. She loves the dog pictures best.
