the ugly truth about the library Kids Activities Blog
It wasn't obvious to me until this year when Rhett(4) and I had 3 days all to ourselves that he might have missed out on some things that I did with the other boys regularly.
Like mutual things.
Like as common as going to the library.
ooops.
I used to go to the library all the fourth dimension with his older brothers. I doubtable we stopped going when wrangling ii toddlers and a baby just seemed like more than work than borrowing books was worth.
Then to top information technology off on our terminal library visit with two toddlers and a baby I accidentally misplaced one of the 17 dump truck books that we borrowed.
This did non escape the attention of the librarian who issued a beak which I soon found out was not payable by credit card. What mom who is shushing two toddlers and a baby while juggling 16 dump truck books has CASH? I should have payed them in diapers…
*sigh*
Anyway, yesterday Rhett and I decided to go visit the library. Nosotros walked in and he immediately reported that he preferred Barnes & Noble. I immediately responded that library books were free.
Free?
A big grinning came over his face up and he asked if he could pick out some books.
Of class! Pick several!
I atomic number 82 him over to the dump truck book shelf, but he seemed more than interested in fire trucks. He chose 5 burn down truck books and asked if he could take them all.
Certain!
We stopped in the big comfortable couch department and read a few moving-picture show books. It was all very library-ish.
I checked out and the librarian mentioned that my business relationship still had a block on it due to the lost volume 3 years earlier. Merely she by the grace of the library gods allowed me to exit the premises with a alert and five burn down truck books.
Whew.
Rhett was giddy. He was admiring the books in the car. He was examining them at home and and then we saturday down and read them all in 1 sitting.
Sky.
I mentioned that when nosotros took the books back we could get all NEW books…
Accept them back?
Uh-oh. I then explained library protocol which includes having to return the books. The books belonged to the library and we were just borrowing them (disallowment loss, payment and subsequent library card blockage).
He sat on my lap and cried…
Sobbed really.
With tears streaming down his face and a quivering mentum, he again reported that he preferred Barnes & Noble.
