Is an outing to the library a common occurrence for your family?

I know I have said this before, but I will say it again.  My children love books and they love going to the library.  Some weeks go every week.  Other times we check out so many books that we are good for 2-3 weeks.

With computer terminals to look up books and self check-outs for borrowing books, there is little or no need to talk with anyone during a library visit.  I want my children to learn the technology in the library but I also feel it is  important to ask questions and listen to suggestions from the librarian.  Some of my children’s favorite books are ones that she recommended to them.
