Library List

Yesterday Leah began ballet class, courtesy of my mother, and while she was dancing her little heart out the other two children and I went to the library and stocked up on books. We've neglected the library lately, mostly because I forget to return books, but I think that having a weekly timeslot to go will help with that. These aren't recommendations, since I haven't read them yet, but just a list of what I thought (or the children thought) looked interesting.
