Can't get enough of our Early Literacy Classes? Need an outlet for after-school sillies? This outdoor early literacy program is perfect for you!

The Library is bringing the joys of early literacy to Independence Park! Join the Library Outreach Team for silly stories, silly songs, and silly activities that help children build early literacy skills like reading, writing, singing, talking, and playing. Grown-ups and children alike will love the funny and engaging stories, and kids ages 3-5 will discover their own love of reading through humor and play.

Check out books, browse resources, get a free library card, and more at the Library On-The-Go, too! 

Please reach out to outreach@pickeringtonlibrary.org with questions about the Library On-The-Go or to request services.
