Let's not forget about how much fun the library offers....all for FREE. Let your kids' imaginations run wild with their favorite books, plus explore new areas like a new non-fiction topic each week.

Look at the calendar to see what events they have planned also! Ours offers movies and music outside, weekly play groups, summer reading challenges and more. When it's rainy out, check out some old favorite movies. We're on a musical kick right now!

When my kiddos start reading in kindergarten, we make a big deal about getting their library card. First, we head to the dollar store for the supplies to make our library card lanyard craft: beads, elastic string and clips. Then it's off to the library to sign up!

With the library card comes responsibilities and RULES. We lay these out before signing up and my girls know exactly how to behave at the library. There is so much fun to be had at the library, our weekly trip is always an exciting day for my kids.

For the full library lanyard craft, check out my website, Dash of Evans!
