My very own library card!

For Henry's first day of school we filled out the application for a King County library card.

I told him what words went on each blank line and then provided him with the letters or numbers. He very slowly wrote down his name, first and last (he would like the last name Hotrod), his address, phone number and parents names.



We drove to the Maple Valley library. He had his new backpack all ready to fill with books about cars, trucks, dogs and anything else that interested him. When he gave his application to the librarian, she told him to pick a card design. I had to laugh when Henry picked the classic card, it's what my first card looked like back in 1983.

He used the card to check out 5 books - the most exciting one is Jackson and Bud's Bumpy Ride, about the first car trip across the US. I'm sure Henry's library card will get plenty of use over the next 20+ years.
