******************************************************************************************************************** Mason Public Library - www.masonpl.lib.oh.us. 200 Reading Road, Mason, Oh 45040 (513-398-2711). We go to this library almost every week. They have a cute children's section and a nice variety of children's DVDs & CDs as well as a good adult section. We've been to their wonderful story times frequently. I'd highly recommend them since the librarians (Miss Alice especially) that do the story times are terrific. They really relate to the kids and make it fun for them. They incorporate singing, puppets and books to make it a fun-filled time. You don't need to pre-register either, you can just show up but please be on time out of consideration for others (an adult is required to stay with children on Monday evening & Friday morning). Please visit the Mason Public Library to double check their story times:

The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County - www.cincinnatilibrary.org. Various locations. Now let's talk about a reader's delight - what more can you ask for in such an extensive library system. There are 40 branches in Hamilton County for you to utilize. You'll need to check out their website to see everything there is to offer but I do want to mention two locations since I think they are worth seeing and enjoying.
Check out their Public Library of Cincinnati's "kidspace" website - it "promotes reading, self-expression, learning and fun". http://kidspace.cincinnatilibrary.org/.

West Chester Public Library - www.westchesterlibrary.org. 9363 Centre Pointe Dr., West Chester, Ohio (513)777-3131). This is another great library if you live in the West Chester area. They are actually going to be moving this to a new location once the construction is completed. Here again, you have a wealth of services to use. On their website, you can go to the Kid's tab and Reading Corner and they'll give you suggestions on books that are age appropriate for your child. They also have story times but you do need to register for some of these so you'll want to check out their website for registration deadlines and times. They also have some drop in story times and family story times that you don't need to register for. But the best thing is that they are all FREE!
