Adventures in Reading

Remember these? Those cards you used to check out library books before computers?
Wyatt checked out a book from the 80s at my recommendation from the Lowell library this month and found this card in the front. It has names of numerous friends from high school days listed, including a "Lori S." The book was "The Amazing Brain" and I highly recommend it for school age boys.
One of my favorite parts of my day is reading with Wyatt in my bed every night.
It started when I was reading the Harry Potter series out loud to him, but now we both read to ourselves till we fall asleep. I love a good book, and I love a boy that loves a good book.
The sad thing is that I rarely read to Shelby because I am reading with Wyatt instead.
And speaking of Shelby, the day she has been waiting for has finally arrived:

She got her own library card!
After checking the mail everyday for a week her card came.
And she is so happy and so proud!

I still have my first library card from when I was about 5. I'm loving those picture collages. I want to learn how to do that!

Oh, yay on all of you for reading. I am never without a book (or two) and Ben and Josh are the same. I must be at the library at least twice a week. "Library Day" at Lowell was my most favorite day and I even worked in the library when I was in 6th grade. I still know the Dewey decimal system!

I think this coming year we should have a book review on the family blog. I am always looking for my next read.

Was that your name on the checkout card?! That is so cool and congrats Goose on your new card. I used to love riding our bikes to the library. Such a neat place.
