Mommy-tracked: Off to get a library card

01 July 2009

Off to get a library card

This might not seem like a monumental thing, but it is Mommy-Tracked's sanity. Books. DVDs. Storytime. A place to take the kids where they won't whine.

I've moved multiple times in my life. I'm about to get my 10th. Every time I move, I keep the library card. It's my record of the places that kept me sane. Sorry, Plainfield. I'm not giving it back.

A shout out to all the libraries who have given me books, music and videos that have transported me out of the humdrum and into other worlds:

Scenic Regional Library

Daniel Boone Regional Library

River Bluffs Regional Library

North Castle Public Library

Pleasant Hill Public Library

Altoona Public Library

West Des Moines Public Library

Plainfield Public Library District

Springfield-Greene County Regional Library

Good job for being so flexible and resilient yet knowing when to rely on the familiar.

I'm a mom; a much-loved one by my three kids. But I can be a somewhat unwilling one some days, as I also have a life as a freelance writer and editor.
