Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...the moment we've all been waiting for...the library has opened! :) I'm so excited-- could it be even moreso than the kids? I don't know! haha...they're pretty excited too! We had our "grand opening" yesterday where I went over rules and how they could check out a book, etc. and then they had some time to look for books, read, do puzzles, color, etc., and it was just so fun for me to watch them-- all so intent on what they're doing. I'm so happy that they'll not only have books in their hands, but also that there's now a fun, welcoming place for us to go to do activities. There were many hands involved in this project and we couldn't have done it without you...many thanks to Mama Lorella (who did all the sorting), my mom (who tirelessly cleaned books as we strived to "just do 2 more boxes"!, Kenny (a volunteer who came and made many shelves for us), Tracy and Ellen who also worked extremely hard to clean books, move shelves, etc., the students at Meadowview Primary school who raised money for us to buy the tables, and so many of the kids who were so willing to lend a hand in their spare time to sort, clean, or sticker books!
