Getting to Know You: City Bus & Library

 First City Bus Ride

Kudo's to Cambridge for being so user-friendly!

In our 'Getting to Know You' themed week, we started with a bus ride downtown to the Cambridge Library, now referred to as IDEA/EXCHANGE http://ideaexchange.org/ since it doubles as an art gallery and public learning space.

This was O & Baby C's first city bus ride.

They liked the 'no car seat' factor!

 Happy Rider

Downtown Cambridge is beautiful, particularly by the water.

We crossed the River Bridge to get to IDEA/EXCHANGE.

The library/gallery interior boasts trendy industrial interiors; one part library, one part art space.

and they give our Library Cards to children from birth onwards without a limit on the time used, simply for the pleasure of reading!
