1000 Books Before Kindergarten :: 1200!

We started picking up books at the library again, and I can't tell you how excited we {all} are about that! We were thankful for the ability to check out books online and read on my phone, but there is just something about holding an actual book in your hands. Our library offers curbside pickup, which is super helpful!
