And N willingly checked out a book!

I mean, I went and got it for her (Hamster Princess 2, if you're wondering) and put it in front of her, but then she went "Oh, yay!" and checked it out without prompting. Baby steps. Baby steps.

Operation: Make Kids Hang Out at the Library Instead of My Porch is proving thus far to be a rousing success.

Awesome! Hope they cherish that library card. Ever since I moved to NJ, I tried getting that card and was told that it would cost me a hundo back in 2000. I wouldn't be surprised it's more. Having it in my college days would have helped a ton during my Rutgers days.
