StoryWalk – Open 24/7
Our Spring StoryWalk is up now! Enjoy What’s New, Daniel? by Micha Archer in the side yard by the river. Gloriously detailed collages invite readers into Daniel’s blossoming world, encouraging them to appreciate all the wonderful new things in their own lives, big and small.

“What’s new?” We casually say this to each other all the time, but when Daniel’s grandpa asks him this question, Daniel’s curiosity is sparked and he’s determined to really find out! And there is so much new stuff to report on, since their neighborhood is brimming with spring life. Birds have reappeared from their winter journeys, ducklings are hatching, and polliwogs are growing long legs—just like Daniel!

Little Free Library – 24/7
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 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!

August Book Discussion

Thursday, August 27th from 5-6pm. The 2026 Summer Reading Program features the nationwide theme “Unearth a Story”, celebrating discovery, nature, and paleontology and to go along with the theme we will be reading Counting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan.
An intensely moving novel about being an outsider, coping with loss, and discovering the true meaning of family.

Willow Chance is a twelve-year-old genius, obsessed with nature and diagnosing medical conditions, who finds it comforting to count by 7s. It has never been easy for her to connect with anyone other than her adoptive parents, but that hasn’t kept her from leading a quietly happy life . . . until now.

Suddenly Willow’s world is tragically changed when her parents both die in a car crash, leaving her alone in a baffling world. The triumph of this book is that it is not a tragedy. This extraordinarily odd, but extraordinarily endearing, girl manages to push through her grief. Her journey to find a fascinatingly diverse and fully believable surrogate family is a joy and a revelation to read.
