A Cradle to Grave Community Resource

Entering motherhood, I worked part-time and took my two children to the Rosemount branch library regularly for baby and toddler time programs with Jennifer. We enjoyed participating in the programs, checking out books and meeting other parents and children from the neighbourhood. It is such a valuable meeting place for parents who may feel isolated at home with young children.

My children continued to visit the library on their own as young children, became too cool for it as teens and are now making their way back to different branches to browse the shelves.

I went back to working full-time and no longer visit the library as I used to. Now, I reserve books online and drop in only to pick up the book. After reading, I dash out of the car to pop the book into the outdoor return bin.

In retirement, I hope to hang out at my local library in Bells Corners, meet my neighbours and become a volunteer.
