Kids’ Books to Remember and Some Links for Mom and Dad

Last week was National Library Week. In celebration of this annual event, I thought I would share a photo of the place where my love of books and reading began. This is the Marion Public Library, in Marion, Indiana, which is one of the Carnegie Libraries, built in 1902. My dad would take me there every week to check out books, beginning when I was very young. He was an avid reader, so he needed to visit frequently, because he, the same as I am now, never wanted to be without a book to read! I loved those special trips each week and loved to surprise my mother with the books we would find. Some of the books I’m sharing with you in Kids’ Books to Remember this week might have been on those library shelves many years ago and will still encourage a love of reading in your kids, as they did with me. I hope you find some new favorites!
