Bookstores often offer a variety of events for education and entertainment

Take advantage of your public library
Besides books, you can take out videos, audiotapes, DVD’s and CD’s for free. Libraries have become community centers that offer computers, book clubs, readings, and fabulous children’s programs. Ask for a schedule of activities. It’s a wonderful way to instill the love of learning into your children.
