“I think the library is a magical place. From the moment your children are toddlers, I encourage parents to take them to the library and make it their go-to destination,” she said.

The DIY tote bag isn’t just fun for kids, Dorogi said, but it’s a win for parents because it gives kids a place to keep their library books together so they don’t get lost. not.
