Library cards for kids
Two of my friends just brought their respective children to obtain library cards this month. One child is 4 yrs. old and the other baby is 2 weeks old. Hmmmm, what the heck does a 2 week old need with a library card? Anyway...I want to wait until Sofia gets older to get her card, I want it to be an experience I can share with her. Both my friends posted pics of their kids with the new cards, the older girl was all smiles with her new card, the other, well she was asleep. Anybody have any thoughts on this? When should you get your first library card?

Maybe when they're old enough to start picking out the books they want you to read to them? The reasoning behind that is they've probably already fallen in love with your home book collection, and exposing them to a whole world of different books can just awe the pants on them and plant the seed of reverence early on :-) Or maybe they get their own when they start expressing an interest in reading on their own? Regardless, I think exposing kids to the library sooner rather than later is key!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree- sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe how many adults I know that have never obtained a library card...EVER!
