Earth Day Approaching!

Thirteen more days until Earth Day on Thursday, April 22! For 40 years we earth-dwellers have taken these 24 hours to honour our world and consider how to lessen our impact on it. Make Earth Day a feature in your library by choosing environmentally themed reading materials and activities for that day! Here are some great resources to get you started:
