It's a Wonderful, Magical Place...

Nope, not Disney...

It's our very own Downtown Library. Today we headed downtown to play at the park and walk around the lake. It was a beautiful day and we brought our lunch. Thursdays are the normal day we go to the library. The difference today was that I decided to take the kids to the downtown library since we were already that direction.

It was so fun to watch what a treat this was. They walked in the doors with a sense of awe. The Children's section is about the size of our entire library around the corner. So, they were in book heaven.

They kept me pretty busy as well. With all the choices, they needed a little more help finding what they were looking for. I don't think they are ever gonna want to go back to our dinky little one.

Who knew that the library could be such a treat?

We love our library too! Bella & Noah really enjoy story time. But I just paid a $10 fine for an overdue book that was hidden in bella's room! Ouch!

Did you know that the library has a used bookstore upstairs? They have books really cheap. I even found a textbook that I needed for school one time. I don't recall if they had any books for elementary curriculum, but you could call and ask.

Yes, the DT library is one for the record books!! The school takes field trips there! Glad you had fun!

WOW! Where do you live. We go to the library all the time but it sure doesn't look like that.

Maybe I should clarify... the picture is just one I found off google pics. This is not the library we go to. I think it might be Trinity College.

now you're speaking my language, Cass!!
thats one of my very favorite places in OTown.
I often say our library system is the only thing my taxes pay for that I don't complain about--it is the BEST!
