Super Preschoolers : Recycle it or Not with M.C. Blue, the Recycling Robot, South Brunswick Public Library, 110 Kingston Ln, Monmouth Junction, 11 a.m.

M.C. Blue, MiddlesexCounty's most famous robot, rolls into the storytime room with a very cool rap song, and the rap song’s chorus reminds us that M.C. Blue is a fully recycled mechanical boy. Through pictures and video the childrenwill see how paper, plastic, glass and aluminum cans get recycled. They will see and hear what happens to the materials after they are picked up from the curb and how they can become something new. M.C. Blue quizzes the children by naming an object and asking them whether or not it gets recycled. The show ends with another lively rap.
