Comments on: A Must-Have for Newborns: A Library Card http://blog.kdl.org/?p=18403 The blog of the Kent District Library, with 18 branch locations serving Kent County, Michigan Mon, 20 May 2013 20:55:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Lance Werner http://blog.kdl.org/?p=18403#comment-61282 Lance Werner Tue, 29 Jan 2013 13:57:00 +0000 http://blog.kdl.org/?p=18403#comment-61282 Dear Miranda:

Thanks for your post and for setting an example of the importance of obtaining a library card for your newborn. Not only does having a card allow you to keep items organized, as you so rightly point out, but it is a great first step in growing your child into a life-long library user. A library card is the key to a magical world of story, ideas, and imagination. I can’t think of a more worthy gift to bestow upon a child. Thank you for giving this gift to your children and for spreading the word to other parents.

Best regards,

Lance Werner

Both of my sons have had library cards since they were a month old. People have actually laughed at me for this. In fact, in the case of my older son I was told to wait until he could right his own name. But I insisted. From a purely practical standpoint, it keeps the kids books organized and seperate from mine and my husband’s library books.
