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. We hope this program will help them make a connection, building on their path to becoming lifelong learners. In this week's episode, Trash!, we visit the DPW garage to see trucks in action and learn about what it takes to be a garbage collector. Other Reading Ready Time episodes can be found on our YouTube channel.
Additional resources:
- Have children explore shapes through play. In this activity, children use simple shapes to design their own truck .
- Check out this list of books 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
This is not a real library branch - this is the "location" for our events that occur online. Online events that take place on Zoom should all involve registration and a link will be emailed to participants. Other online events may occur on YouTube or Facebook, and will not require registration.
