Child Care Centers
Ready for Books - A free program in which the library delivers books to your center every month! Each month a tub filled with 26 books and a baby theme packet is delivered to your center. This tub contains books for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. A second tub filled with paperbacks and beginning readers is available for centers that care for school-age children. Theme packets on specific subjects may be requested monthly to fit your center’s curriculum.
