After School Protocols
We encourage students to use the library as a resource, but will not be able to serve as a place for congregating. Please be aware of the following guidelines which are in place for the health and safety of everyone.

  1. Masks are required for everyone, regardless of vaccination status.
  2. While public computers and tables will be limited, all Chromebooks will be available.
  3. Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.
  4. Do not enter the library if feeling sick.

Social distancing must be observed and, therefore, the library reserves the right to limit the number of people.
StoryWalk®
At Sickles Park Playground!
Announcing our new StoryWalk® book at 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. 

Our latest book, “Be You!” by Peter H. Reynolds, is mounted onto signs around the playground. The signs are numbered and will direct you to the next pages in the book. 


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.
