Stop by our Little Free Library outside the Livingston Educational Service Agency Preschool 📚

Take a book, leave a book, or discover a new favorite to enjoy together 🥰

Even babies benefit from hearing your voice and exploring colorful pictures—reading builds language, strengthens your bond, and sets the stage for future learning. Our library is always open, so stop by anytime and spark a love of reading ✨

A huge thank you to our incredible STEP instructor and the Lansing Lugnuts organization for making this day possible! Having the opportunity to gain real-world experience inside a professional sports announcer booth was an invaluable learning moment. It's amazing to see passion turn into potential career paths!
