Winterfest- February Family STORYWALK® featuring our winter story, “Trouble with Trolls”,  by Jan Brett.
This activity is fun for the whole family, using an actual book that has been dismembered, laminated and presented page by page on a trail outside the library which is designed to promote reading and exercise.

She’s taught groups of 2-250 in diverse subjects from poetry to oceanography to raptor physiology. Through the years, she has helped many families in their education journey. She can help you, too.
