4 Reasons the Library Should Be on Your Summer Destination List

July 13, 2015 by Dawn

Don't forget to make the public library a regular part of your summer routine!

Sure, it may not sound flashy, but I truly believe that the library is the place to be in the summer. Not even counting the free air conditioning, it’s a perfect place to make a part of your summer routine. I’m home with my kids during the summer, and for years, we’ve set aside one day a week for a library trip. The children each take their own bag, and by the end of the trip, they’re filled with books that will serve as bedtime stories, boredom busters, lunchtime companions, and poolside entertainment at break time for the at least the next seven days.

I think there are tons of benefits to hitting the library in the summertime, but I’ve narrowed it down to four reasons in my piece at 5 Minutes for Mom today. Check it out and be sure to grab a bag before you head out to the library!
