Winter Library Visit

Winter Library Visit

The Author of this post is Tony Cote

My kids get quite antsy during winter months when the cold weather keeps them indoors. When I can't take another minute of their running around and tearing up the house, I bundle them up in their winter scarves, caps and thick coats. I set the home security alarm (Ohio alarm Systems systems) and we all jump in the car.

There is always something going on for kids at our local Deschutes County Library. Heather, my little girl, loves the Toddlin' Tales Story Time and Preschool Parade Story Time. They sing songs, listen to stories and rhymes. My two older ones love to pick out books about their current interests, which are motorcycles for Josh and jewelry beading for Meg at the moment. Once they have selected their books, they are happy to sit at a table or spread out, on the floor, in the corner and read. This keeps them from pestering me to get going while Heather is still in story time.

Last time we were at the library I saw a class advertised for social security retirement. I told my dad about it and he registered. It's coming up in a few days. I think it will be really helpful to him as he's been thinking about retirement. The library is always offering helpful community classes. Most of the time they are completely free.
