Thanks so much for hosting!
Awesome post, heading off to share it everywhere. We LOVE our local library!
Library has been part of our life since Anna was 6 months old. I don't know how we would have survived without being able to bring home dozens of new books every week! Too bad that now our city libraries are open only 4 times a week due to budget cuts 🙁
So many great resources! Thanks so much for including our tips for taking a toddler to the library.
