Earth Day is April 22.

Earth Day is fast approaching!  There's so many things YOU can do to help the planet.  One of them is to educate yourself on important topics, including climate change.  There have been a lot of excellent books, both fiction and nonfiction, recently published.  I'll give you a list here, but make sure you also stop by the Kid Zone this month and browse our Earth Day book display.  It's located along the starred hallway, right before the turn.
