Have you ever sat and silently observed a child playing make-believe or running around outside? Or even just watched children go about their day? Whatever they are doing, they seem to embrace the moment with wonder and joy, drawing on their curiosity and imagination to explore and learn. As adults, having that “kid at heart” mindset keeps you playful and active, opening up new experiences and fostering social connections.
This month, stop by the library to rekindle your youthful spirit! Poudre Libraries is the space to be a kid (or a kid-at-heart)!
Crossover Collection
Writer and scholar C.S. Lewis suggested, “A children’s story which is only enjoyed by children is a bad children’s story.” Ditch the stuffy stigma that juvenile and teen books are “too childish” for adults. We have fantastic YA series and authors that we recommend to all ages! (Plus, we have a monthly Club de lectura Forever Young Adult you can join.) Explore a few select YA choices below.
Gravitate to Games + Puzzles
Are you a fan of crossword puzzles? Dedicated to the daily New York Times Wordle? Many of the libraries have a community puzzle available for anyone to take part in, or you can check out and take home one of dozens of different puzzles for adults or kids. Browse the Colección Cosas & Objetos to see what’s available.
