What better way to spend a rainy day then to read....
So off to the library we went...
First off we love to read, but we usually buy our books...Kyle needed to do some research though on Robots so we decided to take a look at what the Gilbert Library had to offer...
The kids had fun picking out books and sitting and reading them....
Kyle and I however found that a lot has changed since we have been to the library ... the librarian informed us that our library card expired in 2003... huh..what? Has it really been that long?
When you walk in there are metal detectors and a security officer...(at the LIBRARY??)
Then we could not find ANY research books on Robots.. except for one..published in 1997..umm okay.. I mean you would think a simple topic as Robots would have a ton of books to choose from..
It just seemed the whole library was focused on DVD's you could check out and the internet access available... I know that during this economic downturn that is a very useful and free resource for people, but dang Gilbert Public Library can't you make an effort to keep your shelves stocked with actual books and maybe even some that are up to date...
The kids had a good time though and we ended up checking out some cute books that we can read for awhile...
