So Eleanor and I are super blessed for a lot of reasons, but one of our favorites is that we have access to two different library systems where we can find all kinds of treasures.
We live in a town that is surrounded by a big city, yet we have never been annexed as a suburb (thank the Lord! I hate the city we are surrounded by and can't wait to leave this stupid state as soon as Eleanor is old enough). As a result, we get access to the city's system for free because despite being our own town, we have a city zip code (don't ask, I don't get it either).
Anyway, two library systems means TWO SUMMER READING PROGRAMS!
Now that Eleanor and I are officially on summer break TOGETHER as of yesterday (she was done last week, I had two work days this week after Memorial Day on Monday), we wasted no time getting to all our most fave places. Stops of course included libraries to get signed up for this summer's fun. Naturally that also involved Eleanor perusing the stacks for a while, despite my saying just a few weeks ago that we have to get through some of the piles she has around our living room, on-and-by her bed, and her crammed onto her nightstand. As you can tell by the picture, my words were not taken seriously.
Not only that, but some of the books she grabbed are part of a series, so naturally once she realized that, I had to log into the website and put holds on the ones she's missing. Safe to say she will be reading up a storm this summer.
And if you still have any doubts, the librarian gave her the 7th-12th grade reading record instead of her actual grade level because, of course.
It's safe to say we will be doing a lot of read-and-walks, a lot of lounging by the pool and reading, and definitely some reading inside when it is so miserably humid out that we might actually melt.
Hooray for Summer Vacation!
Happy Reading,
Eleanor and Sarah
