New book alert! Whose Tracks Are These? by James Nail is now on display at our Groton Story Walk! This beautifully illustrated and informative picture book teaches kids how to identify animal tracks in a fun guessing-game format. Get outside this summer, and check this story, located on the trail behind Memorial Park!

New book alert! Full Moon Pups by Liz Garton Scanlon is an adorable book that follows a litter of pups through their first lunar cycle! Go check it out at our Dryden Story Walk, located on the Jim Schug Trail!

Join us for our Juneteenth Festival! ❤️💛💚
Come enjoy local food vendors, artists, and crafters as we celebrate freedom, community, and Black history.

We’ll also be uplifting the legacy of Shirley Chisholm and the power of voting — because every voice matters. ✊🏾🗳️

A huge thank you to Health & Unity for Greg and The Sophie Fund for helping us get books into the hands of families at Better Together!

We’re so grateful to Sophie Fund for providing funding for these books and to Health & Unity for Greg (HUG) for helping distribute them during the event. Community partnerships like these make such a difference in supporting literacy, connection, and family wellness!

We recently had the amazing opportunity to donate a large handful of our books to our friends at Family Reading Partnership in Ithaca, NY. We'd like to share a huge thank you to CNY Farm Supply for sponsoring this donation. With their help, we are not only providing children with valuable reading and learning materials, but also helping animal shelters and rescues. Be sure to visit Amber and the team at Family Reading Partnership to see the incredible work they do connecting families and young children to the joy of books and reading. Thank you for being a part of our mission!

Huge thanks to Erik Doane and CNY Farm Supply for 10 brand new copies of The Adventures of Doodle & PewPew!

We will be closed Sunday and Monday for the Memorial Day holiday. There will also be no pregnancy support group this week.
