I don't think I truly ever appreciated my local libraries before I became a stay-at-home-dad. They are wonderful resources for parents - well, at least they are for me anyway. They have free books and movies for dad. They have board books for baby. They have toys and dollhouses for both dad and the baby (What?! Dollhouses are cool!). Libraries have also given me a reason to get out of the house once a day. And, librarians are a very friendy sort. They all know me and the baby by name now. It's like being at Cheers - only with books instead of alcohol.
So here's my shout out to America's public libraries. Go borrow a book or two and hug your librarian. If they don't want a hug, perhaps they'd like a firm handshake. If they pass on the handshake too, well, you have to respect that. Maybe they have intimacy issues. Or a germ phobia.
Wait till Baby J figures out the DVD rack in the library!

If she treats DVD's like she does the CD's she pulls out of our stereo, they will be thoroughly licked and gnawed upon. I wonder if the library would fine me if I returned slobbery DVD's.
