The Chicago Public Library does not have a minimum age for getting a library card. Instead, you have to be able to write your first and last name. Alex had been practicing writing his first and last name all week. When we were checking out on Saturday we checked with the librarian (our favorite, Miss Gwen) about getting Alex a card, and she confirmed that all he had to do was be able to sign the form. So, I filled out the paperwork, and Alex signed his name (very intently, as you can see below). Miss Gwen entered us in the computer and now Alex has his own card. I don't know which one of us was more excited! He wouldn't put it in the bag with our books; he insisted on carrying it the whole way home.
