What do you enjoy at a library? During the summer many
libraries have special events. Some are for a targeted audience. Others are for
the whole family. Rural libraries tend to have fewer resources than larger city
populated ones. If you live in a smaller community I imagine though, that there is a special event of some kind
being planned.
Libraries frequently receive grant monies for children literacy programs. So even smaller facilities have something fun to offer. I love facilitating the summer reading program provided by my library system. While it may be hot outside, libraries tend to keep a cool steady temperature for book care. This creates an ideal go to place when you want to get out of the house with the kids, not spend money, and have something worthwhile to engage the family.
Consider participating in your local summer reading programs. Everyone can explore the world through some well illustrated books.
