Who Would Win?: Green Ants vs. Army Ants
Author Jerry Pallotta, writer of the Who Would Win series, reads Green Ants vs. Army Ants. We think Jerry is great and love his books, but kids: Don’t curl your library book covers like he does in this video!!! Sheesh.
Lunch Doodles with Mo Willems!
Follow along with everyone's favorite, Mo Willems, as he teaches us creative ways to draw, write, and keep our hands busy and our minds engaged. As part of his role as the Artist-in-Residence at the Kennedy Center, he is welcoming us for a video visit to his studio each weekday at 1:00.

Extra, extra!
While we're all schooling from home, PebbleGo has extended some extras to the East Brunswick community. The library already subscribes to PebbleGo, a fantastic early-reader database featuring age-appropriate, ad-free information about animals, science, and social studies, complete with supports like audio voiceovers and text highlighting. To provide extra support during school closures, our sales rep has provided free access to other modules that are not part of the library's current subscription, including dinosaurs, biographies, and content for older kids. Thanks, Katie!
Don’t succumb to boredom or rot your brain on Roblox!
