Summer 2018 is heating up, and so are the events at your local library! Rio Grande Valley Moms Blog has compiled a round-up of highlights from across the RGV. New dates and times are still being added, so please make sure to check the individual library pages for updates throughout the summer. Libraries are listed in geographical order, roughly from west (Mission) to east (Brownsville)
Some of our favorite things about the library are:
- The librarians are awesome and have so much energy (just like the kids)
- #momhack: all the planning and crafting has been done for you!
- Help prevent summer slide and give your kids a change of scenery
- It’s FREE!!
- Two words: air conditioning
