Pre-K Explores the Central Library

Last week, the pre-kindergarten class had the chance to visit an exciting new place they had never been before: the Free Library of Philadelphia's Central Branch.

The excited group of four and five-year-olds began their field trip with a visit to the library's H.O.M.E. Page Cafe, which is managed by the Free Library and Project H.O.M.E. The visit was all the more special because one of the employees is a CPS pre-k mom. To welcome the children, she handed out a favorite treat: milk and cookies!

Then, the pre-kindergarteners made their way downstairs to the huge children's book section, where they listened to the librarian read a story about using the library. Afterwards, the children enjoyed browsing through the many offerings and having some personal reading time.
