At that time, in order to let the child who had just entered kindergarten read more good picture books, in addition to taking him to the bookstore to purchase directly on a regular basis, I also had an annual card for the picture book museum. Those two years were the dividend period for the development of picture book libraries, and there were 4 picture book museums within a radius of 5 miles of my home that could rent picture books, and the price of the annual pass was similar.
I took my child to see all four picture book stores, and his favorite one is also the one I want to choose the most.
After getting an annual pass, the contact between the child and the picture book museum takes up to a year, so we have to choose the most suitable store. Every mom's criteria for choosing a picture book museum are definitely different, and I'll talk about the points I value the most.
01
The picture book museum is close to home. I have an annual pass with the intention of going at least twice a week, once on weekdays and once on weekends.
During the weekdays, my husband and I have to go to work and the kids are going to kindergarten, so we have to go after work. After work, my husband and I ran out of electricity, and the picture book museum, which can be reached within 15 minutes of walking or driving, is the first choice.
02
The picture book museum should have a comfortable reading environment. This includes the use of child-friendly furniture, a reasonable book layout, plenty of space for parent-child reading, and a warm interior.
My kids love picture books of their own choosing. In the picture book library I chose, he could see his favorite picture book in a flat eye, and there was enough space on the shelf for his little hand to take the book out.
Sometimes he wanted to challenge his brothers and sisters to read picture books, and he could use the safe stool prepared for him by the clerk's aunt and step on it to choose for himself.
03
A rich, high-quality collection of books is important.
I consulted the number of books in the store before applying for the card, and looked at the small picture book museum, which originally had 3,000 varieties of books and more than 10,000 volumes, which could meet the needs of children of different ages and hobbies.
I also looked at the quality of picture books, which are produced by major well-known publishing companies and publishing houses. In addition to picture books, there are also books for parents on child psychology, scientific feeding, and high-quality companionship.
04
Curators who hope to open the picture book museum for a long time will be very careful in customer maintenance. The clerk will be very welcoming to the chosen children and parents, and will even remember the children's nicknames. Every time I walked through the door of the picture book store, the clerk's aunt would laugh and call my child's nickname and say, "Great, you're reading again." ”
The clerk aunt also always praises the child for reading so many books, and the child's reading club will be praised, and naturally he likes to read.
05
I know that many picture book libraries are made by mothers who love children and love picture book books, and they learn the knowledge of reading, listen to lectures, read books, and make themselves professional curators. The professionalism of the curator and the clerk can be learned from the conversation with them.
Every time my kids go to change books, they have a curator or clerk to recommend them to us. I remember once, an aunt who was a clerk said to my son, "I remember the last time you chose a book about trains." The car book and the book I have in my hand are drawn by the same author, and I guess you might like it, do you want to read it? ”
Then she introduced me to a lot of books about cars and trains, and even told me which authors had drawn them.
If you are planning to apply for an annual card for borrowing from a picture book library, I hope my sharing will be helpful. If you already have an annual pass for the Picture Book Library Card, then use it quickly.
Reading makes people progress
