Also they think she OWNS the library. "Yay! We can go to GRAMMA'S library!!!" they shout when we go to grandma's library. Which isn't often, cuz you know, it's nearly ten whole minutes away.
What I'm trying to show you here is that my kids are library spoiled.
They get special treatment, many of the other librarians know them, they are sometimes allowed behind the counter, and they almost always leave Grandma's library with a treat. Plus they've spent enough time there that they are unreasonably comfortable with the whole place. Even the creepy stairwell to get downstairs. They just really love Grandma's library.
Plus Grandma is always telling us about the cool programs they're doing. Like 1,000 books before kindergarten.
I signed the boys up in January, and last week we finally turned in the first chart of 100 books.
The each read (listened to me read) 100 books and colored in their chart and got these awesome library bags as a prize. We already had a million books checked out from our library, which cooperates with my mom's library and when the boys got their new bags, they couldn't figure out why we'd leave the library without filling them up with a million more books. The good news is that even though the libraries cooperate and allow you to check out from either one with either card, they don't tell on you for already having a million books already checked out.
Which is why we currently have TWO million library books at our house. Suckers. We really took them didn't we?
(heaven help me if I lose even one of them...)
