Updated 5/17/2018
This collection of books and games is based on the Cruise into
Kindergarten program, created by the Office of Commonwealth
Libraries and an important resource for PA public libraries. Find out
more at pacruisetok.org.
Each bag contains the Cruise into Kindergarten introduction
information, the topic card (available individually from
participating libraries), a game or activity, and a selection of books
based on the recommendations on the card.
This collection was made possible because of the support
of the Solanco Family Life Network.
