I love to bring my toddler to the library on the weekend. Getting out of the house helps break up our day at home, especially when the weather is too cold or rainy to play outside. She loves to explore, people watch, and interact. Sometimes we even read a book or two together, but usually she is too excited to be at the library to sit down to read here.
