Children's Library

 We took the train downtown to the Children's Library. In the process I got lost underground twice and found local people to be overly helpful and friendly. People I asked for direction went out of their way to make sure that I was going where I wanted to go. Once there the kids gravitated to the computers.

 The library wasn't as large as I had imagined but it was still very impressive.Walking up you see the book shelves with the windows and a fish tank. You can see this in the background of the picture above.

 There are child sized tables and chairs. There is a toddler area that is a bit more private and has couches. 

We spent most of our day here because there was so much to do.

 There are many puzzles, a puppet theater for the kids and one that the librarians use to do puppet shows. Here Zoe is learning how to lace a shoe.

 Austyn spent much of his time playing a computer game on history and then he played with this wall puzzle and right beside him (forgot to get a picture of it) there is a glass, magnetic, boat table. He really enjoyed that.

This train is in the toddler section. Once the babies left Zoe went right to the train and spent a long time arranging and moving the trains around. We attended a drop-in story time. The kids really enjoyed that. There were less children than I expected to be there.

It was the first time that we've been to the library and the kids spent hardly any time looking at books.
