Why we are loving our local library
Been to your local library lately?
We all love a good book don't we? It's easy to be drawn to the glossy new titles sitting beautifully on the bookshelves of the bookshop, but if I were to tell you that you could read almost any book you want, in your own time, for FREE, and reduce your impact on the planet, WOULD YOU TAKE UP THE OFFER?
If you would, it's time to reacquaint yourself with your local library. Times have changes and what once were quiet, dusty halls of old books, inhabited mostly by scary librarians and old academic types are now bright modern places, crawling with babies, children, young and old adults and oozing with the latest books, DVDs and much more.
TIME FOR FUN....
Lilian and I LOVE to attend 'Rhyme Time' which is a free session for Parents and babies up to 2 years offered at almost all local libraries every week. For slightly older kiddies there is 'Story Time' which involves not only stories read by a lovely librarian, but activities that are matched to the story theme.
TIME TO RESERVE YOUR BOOKS.....
The offering of books at most local libraries is now extensive and the great news is that if they don't have a book that you are after, they will find out which library does have it, and borrow it for you! You can also reserve items from your own computer at home, and renew your items without getting out of your PJs!
So go on give the Library another try... you might be pleasantly surprised. We were!

I take my two boys 3 & 5 to the Library every week and they love it, they look for new books (I take home as many as I can carry) and they do colouring in and I have a browse. We used to go to Rhyme Time when they were little. I am amazed at the things libraries offer these days, they are great, green and fun!
