We LOVE the library.
Our favorite local library is in a historical home with a secret garden of sorts.
When we go, we're usually the only ones there...in our garden for the day.
We pack our lunch and quilt and book bags.
We spend time wandering isles and isles of knowlege...
...exploring the world of pages.
We buddy up and talk to librarians, each child responsible for their own bag and library card.
Then we wander outside to find special spots.
Some make reading more active than others.
Even our little ones somehow seem big as they manage their own library books with great care.
Learning respect for the property of others is one of my favorite lessons we learn from the library...among so many others. We love reading and books in our home and I know someday I'll look back on our library days and picnics as some of our sweetest homeschooling memories.
"An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge."
Proverbs 18:15
