Ask the school office or you children's teacher where the nearest library is. Get a library card and borrow books for free. You can take books home for short periods of time. Ask the librarian about what books are appropriate for your children's ages. Find out what children's programs your library has.
Most libraries have story telling hours, puppet shows or music hours.
Find out about adult programs at your library. Also ask the librarian about services for adults such as immigration lawyers or tax accountants. Use the library to play with games, listen to audio tapes, or watch video tapes. Some libraries also let you borrow these things. Find out if the institution runs a pre-school or nursery school.
