Ribbit! in the Community

Ribbit! Belongs Where Children Read and Learn

Ribbit! finds its way into many community spaces. Children encounter Ribbit! in classrooms, libraries and community spaces across Columbus and Franklin County. Each location offers another opportunity for a young reader to discover something new about science, nature and the place they call home.

Children explore local nature and science through Ribbit! at school and beyond. We provide free classroom sets of Ribbit! to educators throughout Franklin County. Whether you teach in a classroom or lead learning in a community setting, you can request copies of each new issue while supplies last.

Thanks to our community partners and volunteers, Ribbit! reaches children in neighborhoods throughout Columbus. Free copies are shared in trusted community spaces, giving more children opportunities to read, explore science and discover the nature around them.
