Reading Ready Time is a virtual library experience specifically designed to help children 3-6 years old get ready to read and connect with the Library. Programs will be available for a limited time following the premiere on our YouTube channel.

Additional Resources:

- Children love to explore shapes through play.  In this activity, children use simple shapes to design their own truck.  This caregiver used recycled materials as well.
- Check out this list of books for kids about trash to see what is available from our collection.  Reserve a copy and come pick one up at the branch closest to you.
- A little something for the grown-ups – this article in the Atlantic reflects on the ‘why’ of garbage truck obsession in young children.

About the branch
