After an absence of two years, the opportunity to conduct preschool field trips at my library presented itself. I worked with one of the local preschools to create a socially distant field trip experience inside the library building.
The group sizes were smaller, we couldn't go into the staff area, and masks were worn. Otherwise, I was still able to show these three, four, and five year olds fun things about the library. We ended each field trip with two book readings and a chance to play in the children's area.
I found these two cow books in my cubicle as I was preparing for the field trips. So I went with a cow theme for my storybook readings.

In order to fit in all of the classes at this particular preschool it took dividing the classes into 12 different groups. I think it was a very positive experience for everyone involved.
