libraries by mamma knows west

Libraries are such a fantastic place to hang out with the family. They are warm in the winter - cool in the summer and perfect all year around! You can usually catch a rhymetime or storytime session at your local library and we try and get to as many as we can to check them and spend some quality time perusing, choosing the books and other resources available. Don't underestimate how awesome it is to get out of the house and enjoy these community treasures.

We haven't listed ALL of the libraries but these are just some of our faves.
