Preschool children explored a variety of vehicles on Thursday, May 17, at the Stroum Jewish Community Center’s annual truck day event, which featured tractors, a fire truck, police car, big rigs and more — 20 in total. The library’s 2-Go van was also present, and kids could watch science experiments staged by a Pacific Science Center staff member.
