Well, as this love & libraries series concludes today, I have to end it with my FAVORITE thing about libraries! Free all you can eat education!!!
Aside from what you pay in taxes (which cannot be helped, at least legally) or overdue fines (which are your own fault) LIBRARIES ARE FREE!! Holy Moly! Where else can you stroll in somewhere with your whole family and come strolling out with every member carrying a bag full of their own stuff that they picked out, smiling faces, hours of entertainment ahead, and you didn't drop a dime!
Nowhere else! You will pay at Game Stop. You will pay for Netflix. You will pay at Barnes & Noble. You will pay at the Toy Store. Yet, how many times over a period of decades did I consistently leave my library with my kids lugging bags full of books, dvds, audiobooks, toys, puzzles, video games! Many times we had to bring our Radio Flyer red wagon on our walk to the library, because we had more than we could carry! Since I homeschooled my kids for a decade, I am forever indebted.
Sure, we spent some money on pre-ordered curriculum and books, but boy o boy, did we supplement with great materials from the library! It was a buffet of books! All you can eat education for all!! 💝💝💝💝😄😄😄👏👏👏
