I like story time and Lego Club and gluing and making stuff and books.
The library is important for many reasons but for me I have to travel to and from work so the audio books are fantastic. The librarian keeps a good rotation of them, since I go through them so fast.

To paraphrase Ben Franklin: We have been given a Republic—if we can keep it. Having been granted the opportunity, as well as the responsibility to strength, sustain, and pass on the blessings of Liberty to the next generation.
