Frankly, I don&#8217;t know why we didn&#8217;t do this before &#8212; I had just never looked into it. But at the &#8220;Chicago Public Library&#8221;:http:\/\/www.chipublib.org\/, there is no minimum age for library card holders. You simply must be able to write your first and last name.<\/p>\n<p>So, Monday afternoon, Lucy and I had some name-writing practice (she&#8217;s quite good at it, but I wanted to help her get all the letters in a row and write them smaller), then we all headed over to the library. After filling out a form, Lucy was handed her very own card. &#8220;How did they do that?,&#8221; she asked. &#8220;How did they make it so fast?&#8221; She chose &#8220;two&#8221;:http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1416902627\/octothorppres-20 &#8220;books&#8221;:http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0670011754\/octothorppres-20 to check out, and we went on our way to visit Papa at his office and show off Lucy&#8217;s new credentials.<\/p>\n<p>That night, she felt so pleased about the library card that she asked to sleep with it. How could we say no? &#8220;It&#8217;s going to be fun to be a grown-up and check out books with my own card,&#8221; Lucy said as she headed off to bed. Yes, I agree!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you happen to see Lucy this week, ask her what she has in her wallet and watch her face light up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5673,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kids"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5649"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5649\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5678,"href":"https:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5649\/revisions\/5678"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
