New Nature Backpack!

There's so much nature right here in town and in the county so we've created two nature watching backpacks for patrons to borrow! Each backpack includes a pair of kid-friendly binoculars, several nature field guides and a map to local trails. Stop in to check it out! Here's an idea - bring it to Sickles Park where you can check out our latest StoryWalk®! See below for our latest book. 

Coming Soon!

A New StoryWalk® Book at Sickles Park

Watch out for our latest StoryWalk® book, "Hooray for Birds" by Lucy Cousins, which will be coming soon to Sickles Park playground! Little Silver Library has collaborated with Little Silver Recreation to bring another StoryWalk® book to our community! StoryWalk® is a way for children to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. 

The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Storywalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.
