Early Learning Kits
Similar to our Adventure Backpacks but for younger patrons. These are more focused on exploring learning concepts & building early literacy skills. They are geared for ages 2-5 and contain books, games & activities, take home worksheets & other goodies that pertain to the topic to encourage child-led learning alongside a caregiver! These check out just like the Adventure Backpacks (3 weeks at a time). You’ll find them hanging on the closet door in the Picture Book Room.

- Counting & Numbers
- Feelings & Emotions.
These kits were made possible by the Patty Kittredge Memorial Fund.
