Update 2015: This venue is no longer open. They (unfortunately) closed their doors permanently earlier this year. Like a lot of busy moms (and dads), I often find myself lying awake at night, unable to fall asleep as I ponder 1: All the things on my to-do list that I didn’t get around to today; and […]
Everyday Fun at the Farmington Library
Last week I wrote a post about the Tots and Tunes class at the Farmington Library. This week I wanted to let you know that you don’t just have to wait for a class to go for a visit. There are plenty of fun activities for the kids at the Main Library in Farmington, Connecticut. […]

As Shawna and I continue our exploration of Connecticut libraries, last week we ventured over to the Avon Library. I find it funny that the library name is Avon Free Public […]
Check Out More Than Books at the Glastonbury Library
