Public transport is more than just a way to get around—it's a vital part of sustainable living and community connection. Introducing children to this concept through engaging books helps foster an early appreciation for greener travel options and practical daily habits.
Dive into a thoughtfully selected collection of children's books that feature buses, trains, trams, and bicycles as central themes. These stories not only entertain but also educate young readers about the importance and benefits of public transport.
Families can expect to discover titles that spark curiosity and encourage conversations about sustainability, community, and adventure. The books range from picture books to early readers, suitable for a variety of ages.
This is a self-guided literary exploration available through the City of Marion Library network. The list includes popular and beloved titles such as "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" by Judy Blume, "Bus Stops" by Taro Gomi, and "Last Stop on Market Street" by Christian Robinson.
Parents can borrow these books from any local library or access them through the online library platform using keywords like 'Public Transport'. This activity is perfect for families looking to combine reading time with learning about sustainable transport.
All books are accessible through the City of Marion Library facilities located throughout the community. Families can visit their nearest library branch or browse and borrow titles online at the City of Marion Online Library.
Library staff are available during opening hours Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 17:00, to assist with book recommendations and access. The libraries provide a welcoming environment for families to explore these resources together.
This is an ongoing resource with no specific event dates, allowing families to engage at their own pace. The books are part of the library's permanent collection and can be borrowed subject to library lending policies.
Parents are encouraged to use this opportunity to discuss the practical benefits of public transport with their children, fostering environmentally conscious habits early on.
There is no cost to borrow books from the City of Marion Library for members. Library membership is free for residents and visitors.
No bookings are required to access the books; simply visit a library or use the online catalogue. For more information, contact the library directly or visit the City of Marion website.
