I just got back from the library and I love going! I usually don't get any books for me because I am having too much fun picking out books for the kids and school.
I get books that I have on my school list that I don't want to buy. I get books on subjects that the kids are studying. I get books on things I want the kids to look at. I get books that are full of pictures about a certain subject and just leave them on the coffee table. I get books that I want the kids to read on random subjects. Sometimes they read them. Some times they don't.
This trip included a book on Shakespeare's Macbeth. We have tried listening to it in the car but a certain younger person has a hard time with death and violence and the noises they have to make to get the point across.
We are studying cities in our state so I got a couple books on the oldest city. Boop is learning about Vikings so I got three books on Vikings. LM is reading about 16th/17th royalty so I got her a book on Queen Victoria. I got a missionary biography for NG on Dietrich Bonhoeffer (which now that I think about it, we might be reading for book club in the Spring.)
When I got home (they couldn't go because they hadn't finished school and chores), EG wanted to know where her books were. Mommy fail. I didn't get her any. Thankfully she doesn't dwell long. On anything. So, the crises was avoided.
I think when I get older and the kids are grown and I am looking for something to do, I am going to volunteer at the library. Right now that just sounds so neat to me . . . .
