Free Outing – Library Story Time

We tried a free outing the other evening – story time at the local library. The one near us has some fun stuff planned. The librarian read a couple of books around a theme, showed a short film about yet another book and had a craft. In theory, this would have been a wonderful idea but there was one catch. Kids age 3 and older have to go into the room by themselves. I told the kid that I would wait right outside for her but she was having nothing of it. To her credit, she did try but ended up wailing for mommy within minutes. So instead we looked for books to check out and take home. She is just not ready yet.

Story time at the library is free although some libraries ask that you sign up for weekly sessions. The best thing about the library – free air conditioning!
