we love the library

I’ve always gone to the library and can remember almost every library I’ve been a member of going right back to pre-school (I have amazing long term memory and totally crap short term memory as I get older). The library is such a great activity for little ones and keira has always loved going, I mean its free and gets them out of the house! Our local one is just the best with a special kids room and mini ampitheatre in there which is lots of fun!!!!!

I got out my camera yesterday to take a quick snap of keira for her daddy…..and she said ‘shhhh mummy you can’t take photos wif your camera in da library, you gotta be quieeeet’…so cute and she’s obviously been listening to me all these years, well all 3 of hers!


This was my haul…..I love the moosewood cookbooks and regret not buying them all when I discovered them in london years ago……but I’m a real glossy cookbook kind of girl! This week we’re trying crepes with ratatouille as well as feta and zucchini pancakes, yummo.

  1. We really love the library, too. We go nearly every week. I’ve been taking the kids to the library two to four times a month for the last almost 17 years now.

  2. Immersing children in literature from a young age is so wonderful, and exposure to things like libraries and modelling how much you love the place too is treasurable! I’m helping with a school excursion to the local library with the Preps on Monday, oh what an adventure that will be :) Great entry.

  3. Aren’t they the best! Ours does a bedtime storytime every few months and the kids all come in PJ’s with teddy – as do teh librarians.
    They also let me order a book (HR’s Weekend Sewing) which they then loaned to me brand new. Love it!
    I missed your birthday post so belated happy firsts to Finn and Tillie, and you and your hubby of course – a big year for all – congratulations on doing so well!

    Hi Corrie,

    I am so with you on the library! I have lived in several cities, including NYC, London and Sydney, and have always gotten a membership. At our current library you can take out current CDs, DVDs, and magazines. They also have a great book sale that occurs weekly.

  5. We love the library too. We go weekly to storytime. They listen to a story, play with musical instruments, sing songs and do a crafty activity each week. We borrow books each week to read before bedtime. I too, remember every library I have been a member of.
