Got a little one ages 0 to 5? Join Dive Into Learning, our early learning program, at the Long Beach Public Library. Dive Into Learning encourages families to read 1,000 books with their children before they enter kindergarten, provides activities and workshops to get little ones ready for school, and supports caregivers as their children’s first teachers. To participate in this year-round early learning program, visit the Library’s Beanstack page, download the Beanstack Tracker app from Google Play or the App Store, or visit any of our library locations.

This project was supported in whole or in part by funding provided by the State of California, administered by the California State Library.Thank you to the Long Beach Public Library Foundation, whose funding makes programs like Dive Into Learning possible.
