This challenge is being hosted by Jamie here. What can I say? We go to our local library (we actually frequent a public and a school library) at least twice a week, but more often 3-4 times a week between storytime, picking up holds and checking out other books/returning books/paying fines. I think supporting your local library is really important (remember, I used to be a librarian!), so I am throwing my hat in the ring. This challenge goes until the end of December, 2011, if you still want to join in. I am starting in May, 2011, and this page will list all of my library books (not just those of Frances and Gloria), so you will see some adult, youth and teen books here that I am not necessarily reading to the girls! We are doing the Fun-Size challenge (40 books by the end of the year).
