Over in the Forest: Come and Take a Peek, by Marianne Berkes is the StoryWalk® book that we have set up on the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail through June 29th. StoryWalk® is an innovative and delightful way for children — and adults! — to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. Laminated pages from a children's book are attached to wooden stakes. As you stroll down the trail, you're directed to the next page in the story. Readers can begin reading the story on the Depot St. trail head in Hyde Park and follow the pages west. There are many different ways to experience this book, making it a perfect StoryWalk® selection. It can be read, sung, acted out....and it's fun to read/walk again and again. We hope you'll find a reason to walk on the beautiful Lamoille Valley Rail Trail and enjoy this story! StoryWalk® was created by Anne Ferguson in 2007 in partnership with the Kellogg Hubbard Library in Montpelier, VT. StoryWalk® has spread to all 50 states and 12 countries (at last count). Learn More:

We are excited to gather with our colleagues from different kinds of Libraries around the State to "Reach Greater Heights Together". We will not be open on Saturday May 19th. We thought we'd take advantage of our annual closing for the conference and have the interior of the Library painted too. We will re-open on Monday, May 21st at 12:00! Thank you for bearing with us. We hope the information learned and the painting face lift we get inside the Library, will be worth any inconveniences experienced.
