Library Outing

We took the oldest group of children to the Hong Kong Central Library earlier in May. It is impressive! We spent our time in the children's section (obviously) but the rest of the place wasn't too shabby, either. (All gold and marble and hi-tech and several stories tall)

Besides a huge array of children's books in several languages, they have a by-appointment-only kid's paradise with an indoor tree fort, pretend doctor's office with equipment, kitchen area, infant corner, magnetic wall, plus a "toy library" holding every imaginable child's delight on file. You can "rent" any two at a time for a set period of time.

How perfect for parents? Getting all the latest games and toys without spending a dime! By the time your reservation ends, the child is probably sick of the toy anyways! There were shelves of three ring binders full of options, divided by age and genre of imaginary play for the children to pick out and the friendly helpers brought from what must be a monstrous warehouse of Playskool and Fisher Price. I can't think of a better rainy day help for parents!
