The Reading Rover Bookmobile
See below for this month's schedule.
While storyteller Margaret "Peggy" Gibby reads stories to preschoolers and leads them in learning songs/rhymes, the Rover driver, Joan Lackey, assists teachers in selecting library materials for their classrooms. At some centers the children select their own library books from the Rover. Books, puzzles, music, puppets, and storytelling kits from the Rover help teachers of young children make learning fun. Anyone with a FRL library card can check out materials from the Reading Rover. Items from the Rover can be returned to the Rover or to any FRL location.
In addition, Outreach Services Librarian, Carol Grise, offers training classes to childcare teachers, giving tips on selecting age-appropriate books for the classroom and offering assistance in using the variety of Rover puppets, storytelling kits and books for teaching pre-reading skills. Training classes are also offered to parents for teaching skills on using library materials to develop pre-reading skills at home. Summer Reading Program Over 50 classrooms receive reading records for the program. After the completed reading records are collected in June, several special prizes are given to the top reading classrooms, with all other classrooms turning in completed reading records receiving a book for their classroom library.
