“When someone gets their first library card, an angel gets his wings.”

Apologies to Frank Capra, but really, can’t you feel the joy in this photo?

This little one knows how to start the New Year off right. They got their first library card and mom sent this photo to us 🥰 (thanks, mom). A first library card is a pretty special moment and certainly one to celebrate! If you think it’s exciting for them, know that it’s also exciting for us.

Holiday Freebies

Published on by notthatrebecca

Earlier this month, Cornelius checked out a book, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, and a movie, Miracle on 34th Street (he’s very sentimental).  He is very busy, getting cookies baked and the house decorated before Cora visits on Christmas Day. Cornelius is so busy that he hasn’t had time to read his book or watch his movie. He checks the due date on his library receipt: December 24th!!
