The Library

November 17, 2015 by Michelle Filed Under: Being a Mom, Life 3 Comments

Y’all.  I went to the library last night for the first time since we moved back to Columbia (2+ years ago!) and it was SO.MUCH.FUN!

First of all, I LOVE the library.  I remember in highschool, it was a fun night when my friend Stephanie picked me up in her Bronco II to go to the library where we would sit and do research {and talk about boys} on whatever paper we were writing that week for Mrs. Kitching’s English class!

I love a thesaurus {I think I’ve confessed that before}.  Someone gave me one for graduation maybe, and I love it…it’s great for Bananagrams or Scattergories…

Okay so back to last night.  I took the last part of my lunch at the end of the day and left work early.  Andrew agreed to get the kiddos from daycare so I knew I had plenty of time to get to our local library branch.

It was my first time going and I was giddy!

I walked up to the counter and there sat a lovely lady who had just a wonderful sense of humor, and was simply delightful.

She got me signed up for a card and told me about all the things I could do with my new membership.

Then, a lady walked in with two small boys…I looked at them and back to the lady, “How old does a child have to be to be able to get a library card?”

“Born.” was her simple reply!  Then of course, she laughed.  {Reynolds is going to LOVE this place, I thought!}

She asked if I needed help and I told her that if she could point me in the general direction of books for small kids {under 3}, I felt like I could take it from there.  Plus, I wanted to explore just a little.

I took a deep breath, smiled and walked over to the picture books.

“This is so great! So fun!”  I think I even giggled to myself as I scanned the titles and cover pictures.  “Reynolds is going to have so much fun here {as will Eliza Jane…}!!”

“The board books are along the wall…the bottom two shelves”, she told me.

I made my way over to the books along the wall.

Um…a place for kids to draw and color?!  Eliza Jane will love this place too!

I picked out a few books..just a few.  The nice lady told me I could borrow up to SIXTY {6-0} items at one time.  Holey moley.  I think I only got 14 🙂

So here’s probably the most exciting thing about all of this.

Besides all the options that we have at the library {movies, magazines, borrowing from other libraries, online resources, etc.}…it’s FREE!

HA!  I bet you all knew/know this…

Andrew asked how much it was to rent all those books.

I looked at him like he had 3 heads, “The library is free, babe.”

“Free?”

“Yeah, you check out stuff from the library…it’s free.  There’s nothing to pay.”

He seemed confused.

“You don’t have to pay anything unless you have late fees….”

“OH…that must be why I’m thinking that you have to pay for them…I must have had late fees….”

………………………………………………………………………………….

There you have it ladies and gents.

Go get you a library card, check out some great books, but be sure to return them when they are due, else you WILL have to pay something…late fees. 🙂
