It's Kansas Reads to Preschoolers Month! Every November we feature the book chosen by the State Librarian and the Kansas Reads to Preschoolers Committee in storytimes and give away FREE BOOKS to every storytime attendee.

It's available digitally on Bookflix, which all Kansas residents can access for free through the State Library’s website, and you can watch it on Kanopy too!

Grab a FREE BOOK from the Readers' Theater anytime during November (as supplies last).
