Play and Learn at Post Road

Young patron counting ice cream scoops

Last year, the Post Road Library added an exciting new feature to their Children’s Area - the Play n Learn Table. 

Geared towards preschoolers, this activity station emphasizes important early childhood concepts, including numbers, letters, shapes, fine motor skills, and pretend play. The table also encourages children to practice their “soft skills,'' such as sharing, taking turns, playing together, and picking up after themselves.

The Ynaa bring promising technological and medical advancements to Earth while agreeing to confine themselves to the Caribbean island.
