Library Adventures – Clearwater Main Library

We’ve adventured to a few libraries in the area – Largo, Seminole, Pinellas Park, Safety Harbor – all very cool, with fantastic programming for kids and fun children’s areas featuring slides, puppet shows, puzzles, and train sets (respectively). But they are nowhere near as awesome as the Clearwater Main Library’s children’s section. It has a pirate ship kids can sit and read in (or pretend to sail) located adjacent to panoramic windows overlooking the intracoastal waterway and Clearwater Beach. It’s beautiful, and mostly peaceful (considering I was surrounded by quite a few kids ). 
Henry loved the touch screen computer the best, second to the pirate ship and other kids’ toys including a tic tac toe wall board. Elliot loved nursing and visiting the bathroom to get a diaper change. I loved the huge, extensive selection of children’s books. Every book I’ve been searching for Henry could be found there. Only problem – it’s not nearly as close geographically as I wish it was…so it can only be an occasional trip, versus a weekly trip. Luckily, we are fortunate to have three great libraries equidistant from our home, and the hold system that allows us to request books and movies located at other libraries in the county. Libraries are amazing.
