作为母亲到忙碌的22个月大，我一直在寻找乐趣和轻松的活动来娱乐和教育我好奇的男孩亨利。亨利是一名小伙子，就像大多数幼儿一样，更喜欢以非常实际的方式探索他的世界。
Lucky for us, Henry LOVES books and is willing to sit still through dramatic readings of The Pout-Pout Fish or to lift page-after-page of flaps in search of Spot. The times each morning and night he spends curled up in our laps for story time, are often the only minutes in the day he stops moving. Unlucky for us, he usually loves ONE book at a time, 6-10 times per day.
Have you ever read Pete the Cat: Wheels on the Bus eight times in one day? As cute as Henry’s clumsy choreography is, it can be hard to take. We like to keep our selection of books fresh without breaking the bank.
That’s where our local library, the Dexter District Library, saves the day. Twice a month we visit the library and while Henry plays in their puppet theater and with their collection of Little People toys, I pick out a handful of new board books to help him discover more about his latest obsessions (fire & rescue trucks) or reinforce the key behaviors we are trying to teach (feet are not for kicking people).
The library itself is beautifully renovated and situated perfectly near our quaint downtown and beside an outdoor park and nature trail. We make a family day of exploring the library inside and out and I cherish these days.
I’m so grateful to the library, not just for providing the books that help keep us all engaged, laughing and learning, but for being a destination where we can grow and bond as a family.
作为一只大金宝搏彩票风员工，我在知道我的图书馆是一个从早期识字和基于亨利的游戏的学习，对自己来说都是一个曲线。我已经在图书馆工作了十多年了，长期以来一直有关于在频谱所有结尾的支持教育方面的重要角色图书馆。我已经像成年人一样使用了个人和专业的资源，现在很高兴与我的儿子分享这种图书馆的热爱。
Dexter District Library makes me a better mom and teacher, and is setting Henry up for success in his life, too.AIR JORDAN
