Read To Me Kits

Hi All –
Just a reminder that you and members can search for these preschool audience kits by putting “Read to me kit” or “Discovery pack” in subject searches. At present, there are over 80 to choose from and each one includes a few books, an AV item, and a “manipulative” (fancy word for educational toy). Members are asked to place holds on no more than 2 at a time. SIRSI, however, does not limit members from placing more holds than 2, so it’s up to us to inform our members when we can. A complete list of these Read To Me Kits in order of theme/concept (like ABCs, Community Helpers, Colors, Counting, Dinosaurs, Number, Senses, etc.) and what each kit contains is on the Children’s Wiki if you care to explore.
