My daughter loves the library too. She’s almost four. When we go, I always look up titles online first, then we go straight to pick up “the mommy books”. After I have a few in hand, we go to the children’s section and spend as much time as she wants (usually). She can’t wait to be old enough to “read the mommy books”!

If my Dad never took me to the library, I don’t think my love for reading would have developed like it did. Now, since his passing, I hold all of those trips dear to my heart. I’m passing those on to my son now.

Great memories! I too remember getting my first library card. My mom would take us once a week during the summer time. Now that’s what I do with my daughter.

We lived just down the street from the public library and were always riding down there on our bikes to pick out books. I read every single Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys book they had.

Also, my mom volunteered in our church library, so we were there all the time. I think I read most of that library during the years we lived in that town and attended that church. When the church expanded, and the library was given larger quarters, my siblings and I were part of the brigade that carted box after box of books to the new location. I just loved that library.

I loved puppet shows. My middle brother used to organise those for us. Library memories

I loved going to the library as a kid (and still do with my boys). Our downtown public library had a large children’s section where we could read books or play Connect 4. I remember reading Curious George books, which my 8-year-old now enjoys. As we got older, my brother and I would bike or ride the bus downtown and visit the library. Fun times!

Love the memories of taking your kids. I had to laugh because I’ve driven around the library so as to avoid a request to stop as well.

I remember my school library, but I don’t remember going to our county library much until I was in high school using it for research.

That is cute about your youngest knowing when you would pass the library.
