Lola loves Tuesdays! Tuesdays are wonderful days because every Tuesday Lola and her mommy go to the library. Lola packs her library card and her borrowed library books in her backpack. Then she and Mommy walk together to the library and return their books. Lola loves going to storytime to listen to stories and learn songs. Then she chooses her own books from the children's area and checks them out. After going to the library, Lola and Mommy stop to have a special snack together. Every night when Mommy tucks Lola into bed, she reads a story. Hearing a bedtime story is Lola's favorite way to end the day.
