Enjoying the library

 

We love our public library. We visit the library weekly and always leave with a good size stack of books for each of us. We especially enjoy all the programs during summer reading that they offer for school aged children. Throughout the school year we attend the monthly Lego club and bi-weekly story hour. The story hour we attend is for preschool age (4-5 yrs old), so this will be Gabi's last year for that program. There are occasional events for school age children during the school year in addition to Lego club but they are not on a regular basis and seem to be more patterned along with holidays. I would love if our library would offer more for the K-5^th crowd. I've brought it up with our local branch and recently emailed the main branch to see if they would be interested in starting a monthly daytime program for K-5^th geared toward homeschooling families. Let's hope I get a good reply back. I have a list of interested families and ideas from other counties who's library offer programs for homeschoolers ready to go should the library be willing to work with us.
