check out the library

I took the kids to the library yesterday (on a whim) and found out that they're promoting their summer reading program for infants all the way up! Each child came home with a free book (nice ones), and they receive a prize each week when they report the amount of time they read and what they enjoyed most. What a great way to encourage learning and beat the heat (the library is always well air-conditioned)! Another great thing about libraries is that even if the younger kids aren't quite into books yet, a well stocked library has wonderful puzzles and toys to stimulate their very active brains. Story times are also fun, especially when trying to change things up in your day.

Just thought I'd pass it along...
