I'm used to writing short tweets, so this blogging business of actual sentences is going to be a challenge.
I'm starting this blog as kind of a diary of my visits to the library with my daughter. I wanted a way to explore Los Angeles with her, and a way to explore the best thing on the planet. Books. Children's books, more precisely. There are so many books out there and I can't keep up. At least at the library, I can check out a few and not get overwhelmed. It's a starting point. I needed a plan. So the plan is to go to all 72 branches over the next few months. . . years? I don't know how long it will take, and I'm not in a hurry.
Join us on our journey!
