Join us at the Orange Branch for a month of dramatic play with your little ones! Learn what it's like to work for the U.S. Post Office through hands-on play. This center will run the entirety of May.

What better way to celebrate America's 250 years of independence than by immersing yourself in the daily workings of the U.S. Postal Service! Children can pretend to be mail carriers, clerks, and customers as they sort letters, stamp envelopes, deliver mail, and write notes to friends. This center encourages imagination, cooperation, early writing skills, and an understanding of how our community helpers work—all through playful, hands-on fun.
