No craft or witty project today, just a proud kid showing off her very first library card! At 5 years old, our local public library lets the kids have there own card to check out materials and Claire couldn’t be happier.

To help manage the LARGE amount of books, movies, video games and magazines I bring home myself, I’ve decided to limit Claire’s checkouts to five items. This should keep me from having to pay too much for the “fines of shame” when books are inevitably late.

The librarians made a big deal of the card, coming over to offer handshakes and congratulations as well as a packet of new bookmarks and stickers. How sweet!
