When reading hits, new worlds open!
When we asked Violet if she'd like to go to Costco with us,
she asked,
"Can I just sit in the cart and read my book?"
So she did.
But as our cart starting filling up she had less room
to actually open her book.
The next morning we took her to TWO neighborhood libraries.
Have you ever seen these?
We have three of them within a mile of our house,
that I know about. So there may be even more.
This one was so neat and tidy.
It runs on the honor system. Take a book and leave a book.
The 2nd one was at the park 3 blocks from our house.
It wasn't nearly as appealing with books all jammed in there.
But she still managed to find two she liked.
The next day after Violet went home,
I checked in her room and saw this...
Strewardess Barbie all set with food.
How thoughtful Violet put a bottle of water on Barbie's lap
for her convenience.
None of her new books in the room to be found.
She took them all home with her. Good!
And she told me before she left the next time she comes back she
wants to go back to those "little libraries again".
You can go to:
to find one near you.
(But I have to say, the two we went to with Violet, are not even on their map...I guess all are not
registered? So I'm thinking the best way to find one in your area may be to ask around. If you belong
to the Nextdoor app you could ask your neighbors on that.)
