Take a Hike!
by Roger Robbins
Time to get out into the great outdoors. Breathe fresh air, walk briskly, see new sights. A good hike can be a special trip or as simple as discovering a near-to-home path that you haven't yet explored! Pillsbury Free Library has great hiking guides for all seasons for the whole family (and pets!). Check these out:

Miss Sue's News (for Kids) |
Roger mentioned above to "take a hike", I agree! Get outside and enjoy what our amazing state has to offer! In the Snow: Who's Been Here? by Lindsay Barrett George and Wild Tracks! by Jim Arnosky are two of my favorite books! Take a family walk and see what tracks you come across and see if you can identify them. These books will help and it'll be a mini scavenger hunt.

By Annie and Maria Dalton
At the age of sixteen, shy introverted Naomi makes a harrowing adult decision about the future of her baby daughter. Sixteen years later, Carrie faces painful challenges of her own. These two very different girls from two different generations, are linked only by the invisible threads of DNA, but as their stories unfold, moving parallels as well as differences between their experiences emerge, lending unusual honesty and force to this compelling novel.
