A few years ago the Allegan Public Library made a huge renovation to their building, more than doubling its size. This allowed them to offer so many more programs and activities, which are an awesome addition to the charm of our little town. Ledger and I spent a lot of time at the library as he was growing up, taking advantage of their different kids programs and amazing books. In the new addition they added an incredible tech room, it's got huge top of the line drawing tablets, 3D printers, and VR sets! When it first opened, 8 year old Ledger thought it was so cool, unfortunately there was a restriction to go in there: you had to be 10 years old. Poor fella was crestfallen! Over that summer he must have sweet talked the librarian in charge there, because he would let Ledger come in if there wasn't any other kids in there. Ledge had so much fun playing with all that stuff, especially the drawing tablets. We went a dozen or more times that summer and he loved every minute!
It's been a while since we stopped by the library, so the other day when he suggested it I was delighted at the idea. We've recently had some free time, so we've gone a couple times in the past week. He makes a quick b-line straight for the tech room! He still likes the drawing tablet, but now that he has one of his own at home, that doesn't quite hold the sway over him that it used to. Instead, he's all about the VR! There are a couple of games that he really loves, one of them he was telling me about has something to do with monkeys? I don't know, but he loves it. He spends an hour or so in there while I find a good graphic novel and find a cozy seat until he comes and finds me, ready to go home because the VR made him motion sick. Poor guy gets sick, but still wants to play!
