Library Summer Reading Sign Up

We waited by the door of the library and were the first ones to sign up for Summer Reading Club this summer.

Ezri wore her crown craft from a recent birthday party especially to sign up for the club which has a fairytale theme and is called “Into the Reading Woods.”

In the car and on our way to the library. . .

Ezri was fascinated by the giant footprints leading to the children’s desk. She liked looking at the fairy houses that decorate the desk. The dragon hanging over the desk impressed her as well. She got to be the very first to sign up. We knew the #2 and #3 sign-ups from park district programs. Ezri enjoyed pointing out where to post her paper dragon with her name on it to officially enter her in the club.

Here she is with a fairy wall.

The library is decorated all over. So we took a tour looking at all the new things. She liked looking at the three bulletin boards one for each of the little pigs. There is a room filled with princess dresses. Ezri is interested in wearing them all especially the white one, good thing they are secured higher up than she can reach. She said, “ponytail” for the Rapunzel braid hanging down from a tower window. She also enjoyed spotting gnomes and the library puppet, Miss Mouse, in her own version of princess and the pea. I am glad “gnome” and “giant” are now firmly in her vocabulary.

We then proceeded to read enough books to fill a whole level of the club which is ten books. Though, I’ve decided each day she will pick a favorite book of the day to write down because writing down everything we read would take us through the process too quickly at this age. This is the first year that she has the idea that she is in the club which after many years working to put these clubs together is just too cool for me.
