StoryWalk – 24/7
The StoryWalk is now installed and ready for everyone to enjoy in the side yard by the river. Take some time to read A Charlie Brown Christmas. We hope it will encourage reading and the true meaning of Christmas! So break out the winter hats and gloves and let’s read!
The Little Free Library is officially open and stocked with adult books for the taking anytime. It is located in front of the back parking area. Perfect for if you are on your way to ski on the Catamount Trail or go for a walk on Kendall Farm Road. Special thanks to the Stratton Community Foundation’s grant that purchased the library kit and the volunteers that painted and assembled it. The Little Library is for people to take books. This helps the Library make room for new books. The Little Library is NOT for dropping off books whether returns or donations. Please do that inside the Library. If you are looking for children’s books, stop at the Mountain School at Winhall where they have a Little Free Library too!

January Book Discussion
Thursday, January 22nd we will discuss the book The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow. It is about a young woman in the early 1900s who embarks on a fantastical journey of self-discovery after finding a mysterious book.
Story Synopsis:
In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, she feels little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored, and utterly out of place.
Then she finds a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other worlds, and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure, and danger. Each page turn reveals impossible truths about the world and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own.
Lush and richly imagined, a tale of impossible journeys, unforgettable love, and the enduring power of stories await in Alix E. Harrow’s spellbinding debut—step inside and discover its magic.
About the author:
Born in 1989, she grew up in Kentucky. She enrolled at Berea College at age sixteen, where she completed a bachelor’s degree in history in three years. She then went on to earn a master’s degree in history from the University of Vermont. Before working as a full-time writer, she was an academic historian who taught as an adjunct professor of African and African American history at Eastern Kentucky University. Also experienced as a cashier and blueberry-harvester, she is now a full-time writer living in Virginia with her husband and their semi-feral kids. She is the Hugo Award-winning and NYT-bestselling author of several books and has also written short fiction for various outlets.
