Here is something else to put on your list of things to do this summer: The new Highland Library. We just came back from a successful outing, and wanted to share with you some of the things we enjoyed about it.

1. The exhibits. This library has the feel of a museum. There are aquariums and terrariums, there are live snakes, lizards, geckos, birds, insects, and spiders.
2. The children's wing. Very spacious, and user friendly. The kids went straight for the computers and played some fun learning games. Baby C and I checked out some books and DVDs to enjoy later. The friendly librarian looked up some information for me and put a hold on an item from another library.
3. The rooftop gardens. We traveled up a series of ramps to discover an extensive garden, and even a small pond. We had a great view of the San Bernardino Mountains as well.
4. Good air conditioning. OK I realize you can find this anywhere, but it sure was a nice way to spend an hour and a half with the kids on a hot day!

Thanks to Patricia, who commented about the Highland Library in my post Where Will Your Feet Take You This Summer? She said we'd be amazed, and we were!
