Part of our boys’ weekly routine is a visit to the school library. They’re allowed to check out two each week, which isn’t much but when you consider we borrow twenty-five or so books from the public library each month. Combined with all the books we already own, there is no shortage of reading material at our house.
With so many books to keep track of, we need to be careful where we store them. The four school library books seldom make it further than the living room coffee table whereas the public dozens have a special shelf in the boys’ room.
We’re usually really good about keeping track of all our books but one library book about Puffins went missing almost a month ago. We’ve searched high and low. Even an exhaustive room cleaning today left us empty-handed. Looks like we’re soon-to-be proud owners of an MIA Puffin book. What the heck is a Puffin anyway? Unless we find that book, no one will ever know.
