Many thanks to all of the families who braved last night's downpour to attend our first ever Dolly Parton story time! After enjoying some of Dolly's favorite picture books, we honored her song & book Coat of Many Colors by making "vests of many colors". We had sooooo much fun!

Reminder. Today is the last day to see the library’s 9/11 remembrance leaves from three local elementary schools and residents of all ages. This educational program, hosted in cooperation with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, helps children learn and process the attacks, losses, and extraordinary help from public service and military members on 09/11/01. Why leaves? “A Callery pear tree became known as the “Survivor Tree” after enduring the September 11, 2001 terror attacks at the World Trade Center. In October 2001, a severely damaged tree was discovered at Ground Zero, with snapped roots and burned and broken branches. The tree was removed from the rubble and placed in the care of City of New York. After its recovery and rehabilitation, the tree was returned to the Memorial in 2010. New, smooth limbs extended from the gnarled stumps, creating a visible demarcation between the tree’s past and present. The Survivor Tree is a living reminder of resilience, survival, and rebirth.” From the 9/11 Museum.
