"The WCDPL Children's Place has played an important role in my family's life. Almost nine years ago, I was new in town and was a new mom. Storytime with Miss Maria was how I found my life-changing group of mom friends.
The Children's Place has always been a warm and welcoming place for my family, where I felt comfortable letting my kids roam around and explore. When the library began offering curbside service, my kids were overjoyed. It was like Christmas in our house, going through all the books I had put on hold!
Now that we can safely browse in person in the library, my kids and I have thoroughly enjoyed traveling around the world with the Children's Place curated collections of books about various countries. Each Friday, we would visit the library, choose our next country, and get our passports stamped. So far, we have visited India, China, Italy, Russia, Brazil, and Ireland. Our library is the best!"
From Brynn, Josephine & Matthew of Bowling Green
