Ah, Pendleton Library. How can I ever tell you how much you have meant to me and my little girl?
Rebekah loves going to the library. They have a great children's area complete with a playroom.
I love their board book collection - that it isn't really organized so it matters very little if Reka takes a book off the shelf and puts it somewhere else. (I know, who would have thought I would have been okay with something unorganized? But with my little toddler it is heaven!) I also love that we can check out new material! I love that Reka loves books as much as I do!
They have a reading program for kids from birth to age 3. We went there one week and Reka was enthralled! The next time we went to the library she went directly to that room (which was locked of course). I was stunned that she remembered where it was! We went to look at books and she would occasionally go back to the room and point to it wanting to go in. I kept explaining that Miss Peggy (the reading time leader) wasn't there today. However, she was in the back and must have saw me with Reka. She came out to talk to us. Yes, she stopped what she was doing and came out for my little girl!
They did a reading program this month - Banana's for Books. 10 books a week earns you a prize. No problem there!
The prize for completing 40 books was getting to choose your own book to take home.
They also have a fun train set that Rebekah loves to play with.
And craft time
So fun to have a something like this available to us!

So great. Way to start her young!
I have found that if I take me kids to the library to get new books, I get a few hours of quiet. It's a trick I use all the time in the summer. :) I'm glad little Rebekah is loving it.
