A little about my family. I am a teacher and my husband works nights. We have an almost one year old boy who is adorable and also in a perpetual state of motion. Seriously grocery shopping takes 2 hours because everyone comments on how cute he is and he in turn tries to interact with literally every shopper and employee in the grocery store. Last time we were out at one point eight people were trying to engage in interactions with our son. So with our days free and our child yearning to engage with the outside world, we've started off on our adventure. Our goal is to visit as many public libraries and their programs for 1 year olds in Butler and Allegheny County. We're hoping to have some new experiences, read new books, and make some new friends. Come join us on our adventure as we catalog the journey to libraries near and far.
