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!

June Book Discussion
Thursday, June 25th from 5-6pm we will discuss the book God of the Woods by Liz Moore. When a teenager vanishes from her Adirondack summer camp, two worlds collide. Selected for Barack Obama’s 2024 Summer Reading List.
Story Synopsis:
Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.
As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.
About the author:
Moore was born in 1983 and grew up in Framingham, Massachusetts and received a bachelor’s degree from Barnard College in Manhattan, New York City. She received a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing from Hunter College in New York City in 2009.
She wrote her first novel, The Words of Every Song, while still attending Barnard College. The novel, a set of interconnected short stories related to the music industry, was partially inspired by her own experience as a musician. God of the Woods was her fifth novel published in 2024 and not necessarily based on her own bad experience at a summer camp in the Adirondacks.
She is a Professor of English at Temple University where she directs the MFA program in Creative Writing and lives in Philadelphia with her husband and two children.
Event Open to All!
