Preschool sessions are from 12:30-1:30 pm and school-age sessions from 3:30-4:30 pm.

Open to all eligible patrons, the program aims to promote the concept of conservation, focusing on protecting species, maintaining habitats, enhancing ecosystem services, and preserving biological diversity. iREAD : Read, Renew, Repeat encourages reading as a restorative method of self-improvement and self-preservation.
