I got one shortly after we moved into our house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2246057 Sun, 26 Jul 2015 06:49:28 +0000 lady baltimore 2246057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Getting a library card is one of the first things I do when I move to a new place. I use it as a resource for work and school, as well as for personal stuff, so I routinely have 20+ books out at a time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245986 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 22:17:50 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2245986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: jinx. :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245985 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 22:17:35 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2245985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course!

I plan to get one once LO is old enough to do things at the library though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245908 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 19:40:46 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2245908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one when pregnant, and then another one to a different library after LO. However I don't check out kids books because so far I haven't trusted Lo to not be too rough on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245885 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 18:32:31 +0000 Finfan 2245885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I was a public librarian for 6 years before LO was even born. Still am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245599 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 08:39:29 +0000 LilSprinkles 2245599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one in the two other states I lived in, but didn't get a new one for where I live now until I got my son one </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245593 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 08:30:57 +0000 looch 2245593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had them at various times in my life, I think I've belonged to libraries in every town I lived in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245574 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 07:21:50 +0000 Anya 2245574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep my whole life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245563 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 06:21:49 +0000 Bubbles 2245563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure i must have had one as a child, but never as an adult til LO arrived. Even now we only borrow books for him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245562 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 06:14:24 +0000 Tanjowen 2245562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: oops. Fixed! That's what I get for posting before falling asleep. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245547 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 01:17:53 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 2245547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: I didn't know about that! I'll have to check it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245546 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 01:01:49 +0000 FannyMae 2245546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't been to the library in such a long time, mainly because DD used to go haywire in there and want to run amok. As a kid I would walk there every Tuesday, stock up on reading for the week (hellooo baby sitters club &amp; sweet valley!!), and then stop for a donut and walk back home again. I really need to start taking DD more often so that she can get used to it, but hopefully she will settle a bit after she starts kinder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245544 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 00:39:05 +0000 kitty 2245544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby isn't here yet but I've always had a library card and when I moved to this state I got a local one fairly quickly to save money when I want to read a book that I'm not sure I will read again. I'm really looking forward to using my card with LO for borrowing books and going to story time. We also have toy borrowing at some of our libraries so that will be cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245543 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 00:29:47 +0000 lemondrop 2245543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, always had one. I use it a lot for work with study groups and online room reservations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245536 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 23:43:12 +0000 birdofafeather 2245536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have pretty much had an active library card since I got my first when I was a kid! More recently it was for ebooks which is so so awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245530 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 23:08:17 +0000 ms.line 2245530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, no LO yet and I have library cards for both Philly and Pittsburgh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245511 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 22:17:14 +0000 BSB 2245511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: Your poll needs to be fixed. You apparently put one of your answers in the field where you are supposed to put the poll question. You need to put 'I didn't have a library card before LO' as a 4th poll choice, so it doesn't mess with the current polling answers.</p> <p>My answer... I had a library card before LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245510 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 22:13:51 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2245510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my first library card when I was a kid and have had an active one ever since. I go to the library weekly. I'm looking forward to taking LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245509 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 22:11:12 +0000 PurplePeony 2245509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I got a library card a few weeks after moving here. I borrow mostly ebooks and occasionally regular ones. </p> <p>@Woolly Mammoth: I love that about the board books! I haven't actually checked out any books for DD yet because I don't trust her with anything except board books. Also, did you know that there's a "summer reading" program and even the littlest kids get a free book? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245507 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 22:01:54 +0000 ALV91711 2245507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one but I only used it for ebooks. After DS was one I got him a card and he's checked out books a few times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245504 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 21:49:45 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 2245504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did have a library card before LO was born. I mainly borrowed eBooks or audio books, but sometimes I would get a DVD or a physical book.</p> <p>The board books at the Seattle libraries are available to borrow without checking out (you can just grab them and walk out the door), but I assume we'll be checking out a lot of physical books once LO gets a little older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245500 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 21:43:10 +0000 Foodnerd81 2245500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your poll is wonky- this first option doesn't show as an option. </p> <p>To answer, I did have a card that I hadn't used in so long that I had to get a new one after she was born. One of our very first outings and a couple weeks old was a walk to the library for my new card. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-library-card-before-lo#post-2245492 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 21:29:57 +0000 Tanjowen 2245492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finally got a library card today. The lady at the front desk seemed shocked I didn't have one, but before LO, I either borrowed them or read books on my Nook and never felt the need to go to the library. And I read a lot! Now that we go to the library for baby time every week I decided to take the plunge.</p> <p>Out of curiosity : </p>
