My daughter, Maya, is currently living in Chile and she is doing a lot of work for Mother Goose on the Loose. She has been contacting librarians who are doing virtual MGOL sessions, asking them for permission to post their programs and activities, and then categorizing the activities by topic (rhymes with bells, knee bounces, lullabies, etc.) and putting them into playlists on the MGOL YouTube Channel.

Today, she ran across this page from the Brooklyn Public Library about the MGOL app. It’s been awhile since I’ve thought about it, so I’d like to share the link:
