Self-check out as a Family Affair

At the library we have self-check out machines so people don't have to wait in line to check out their books. They can do it themselves. Today a family gathered around the machine with their library cards and books. The mother scanned the card. The youngest put a book on the scanner. When it scanned, the oldest picked up the book and gave it to their dad. After all their books were checked out, the middle child took the receipt. So everyone got to do something.

These kinds of stories make me happy. To see a family enjoy the library; meaning one day the children will pass on the excitement of libraries to their children. The circle of library life.

Looks like it's going to be a great Family Home Evening.

I think it's neat you're working at a branch. You'll get a totally different perspective.

so fun - we totally do things like that. The kids love to be involved.
So glad your library is a family friendly one. We have had our share of not so family friendly ones. But we still go anyway.
