You’ve heard the expression, "Take time to smell the roses," haven’t you? It’s a great piece of advice, not only for you, but also for your kids.
This time of year, everything can get especially hectic, what with school getting out and summer about to start. Your kids are probably aching to get outside and play, even though they have work to do. You might be neck deep in work, spring cleaning, or any number of things. Still, taking some time out to just play outside is essential.
Try taking a family trip to your local park! Bring along some Frisbees or just go for a walk together. Disconnecting from phones, computers, and distractions could be a breath of fresh air. You might get to have conversations that you wouldn’t normally have. Ask each other silly questions while you walk, like what movie star your child would like to meet, or where they would go if they could take a dream vacation. You might find out something new.
Whether or not you smell any real flowers, this is the time of year to get outside with your family and spend some quality time together.

Superman is back! Yes, you heard right: "Man of Steel" premiers on June 14. It is rated PG-13, so might not opt to take your young children, but most kids love Superman and other superheroes and ask for books about them all the time.
The Young People’s Department has several Superman and other superhero books for all ages, including Easy Readers, graphic novels, and Young Adult nonfiction.
I’d like to highlight three very different items in our collection:
