Enjoy a world of books with Ruby the Reading Red Panda! Ruby is a plush red panda who loves to read. Follow along on Ruby’s Facebook page as we explore a new book each month. Each month we’ll learn new crafts, meet some Zoo animals and get ideas on how to get outside and explore nature in our own backyards!

Kids who join Ruby’s Readers Book Club will receive a birthday card from Ruby on their birthday! Families can also choose to purchase a Ruby’s Readers Book Bundle which includes all of the books we will be reading this year and a plush red panda.
