We’re going fine free – permanently! From tomorrow, late fines will automatically be wiped from members’ accounts & will no longer accrue. So, if you've been avoiding the library due to fines, there's never been a better time to get back. #LibrariesChangeLives#ReturnYourself
We were all on a space adventure for National Simultaneous Storytime today.
We listened to Dr Shannon Walker NASA astronaut read “Give me some space” from the international space station. An astronaut moonwalked into the library & we had fun with our rocket photo booth #NSS2021
Me: how much does it costs to borrow a thousand books a year from the library?
Small boy: $500?
Smaller girl: $1,000!
Me: It’s free!
Six hundred kids in the hall gasp, then cheer.
The best way to turn kids OFF reading is to make them finish every book they begin. Book aren't like broccoli. They may be good for you, but you don't have to eat everything on your plate.
If you want intelligent kids, give them books.
If you want more intelligent kids, give them more books.
If you want your kids to spend less screen time, give them 3,000 books to choose from (ie a library) & trees to climb. Then read them the complex books they can't manage yet.
