Sarah's Reading

Yesterday I helped Sarah get a new library card from the Suffolk Libraries. I'd already procured one for her months ago but it encountered a mysterious deformation (which may be associated with its having been kept in a trouser pocket during a laundry cycle, but I can't prove it) that rendered it unreadable by the self-help, laser-based check-in/out machines (the same ones we got to know at the Multnomah County Library).


Sarah is very proud of her card. She carried it home herself. Now she's eager to go to the library and find her own books.

This is because she is getting used to reading by herself. In the past she'd choose some library books just to look at the pictures, but now she's able to read much of them by herself.
