Did you know you can get official American Girl Doll for free here in the Treasure Valley?

I took my kiddos to the Meridian City Library for the first time on Saturday and made the coolest discovery. We took our new little neighbor friend with us and she said, "Did you know you can check out American Girl Dolls at the library?!"

"Oh," I said, "You mean American Girl doll books?"

She said, "No, real American Girl Dolls!"

I was still skeptical, so when we arrived I went up to the receptionist in the children's section and inquired. Sure enough, you can check out 13 different official American Girl Dolls complete with their first book and basic accessories!

My daughter reserved Julie (The American Girl Doll from the 1970's). There was a small wait period, but they simply call you when your doll is in and you can take her home for a couple weeks!

As we all know, American Girl Dolls are incredibly popular with little girls between 5-12, but they are quite pricey. The dolls cost about $130 for a doll and book. I think this is such a fantastic way to give your little girl the experience of having a real American Girl doll without it costing you a dime! Plus, if your daughter changes her mind on which doll she likes, you can rent them all at different times! They have everything from the classic historical characters such as Samantha and Caroline to Grace, the 2015 "Girl of the Year."

I swear I discover something new I like about living in the Treasure Valley every day! Head on over to the Meridian City Library and get your American Girl Doll!
