As part of the celebration for Dr. Seuss, the new toys, furniture and equipment for the children’s room were unveiled. The children had a wonderful time playing with the new floor pillows, and musical instruments on the colorful new bunny rug.
The generous new additions were purchased with grant money donated by Preschool Connections and their Public Library Resources for Infant & Toddle Programs. They receive their funding through the Pennsylvania Dept. of Education, Office of Commonwealth Libraries and are supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under provisions of the LST act.
The Green Free Library also received a new Early Literacy Station Computer for children to use. This computer is a self-contained system that includes 34 ready to use educational software programs representing 7 curricular areas. The purpose of these programs is to reinforce the skills children need to develop successful reading habits and school readiness.
This computer will be available for children up to the age of 10 to use on a first come, first serve basis for up to a half hour at a time. Children must first stop at the Circulation Desk for assistance with signing on.
