BackpacksStory Time Backpacks, created for children ages birth – 6 years old, contain all the elements of a story time in a convenient on-the-go backpack! Using books, puzzles, toys, shakers, and other manipulatives, you can follow the five early literacy practices - talk, sing, read, write, play - to prepare your child to be ready to learn to read when they begin kindergarten. Each bag contains a set of literacy cards providing ideas for songs, finger plays, and other activities to extend the fun!
 
Backpacks can be checked out for 7 days and are not renewable. The  backpack must be returned to the NPL Circulation Desk only. Due to the valuable and breakable components of the backpacks, if the backpack is returned to another library, through the lobby slots, or through the Manual or Automatic Drop Boxes, a $10.00 fine will be assessed.
