From India, Straight to the Library

2nd Grader Travelers On a Mission To Get Books!

Dora Melanie and Jacob

Dora, Melanie and Jacob

 

After living in India for 5 years, Jacob and Dora (and their parents) returned to the United States last week.

What was their first outing? They figured out how to use the Metro (with help from mom), and visited the Central Library.

 

 

Everybody got Library cards:

Then the kids signed up for Summer Reading, and put stickers on the Youth Services world map to mark where they lived in India:

Here's India

And found some good books to check out:

Welcome back to Arlington, we’re so happy to have you!
