There's nothing like playing with a few dinosaurs to whittle some time away on a hot afternoon.
One of any community's best resources for families is the local library.
In one library in western Massachusetts, dinosaurs delight kids of all ages.
There are plastic toys kids love to play with, too, and, of course, hundreds of wonderful children's books.
Many of the library's extras are purchased by Friends of the Library, a group of dedicated volunteers who raise funds.
Libraries are truly among the greatest gifts and benefits of a Democratic society!
I always tell librarians that if I ever win the lottery, my first charitable donation will be to the library.
In the meantime, when going to libraries in towns all over, I always come out feeling rich.
p.s. Did you notice my new header? My daughter taught me how to do it myself! Yippah!
