We hope you have had a safe and happy summer. Back to school looks a lot different this September, but however your family has chosen to approach education, we are here to support you. Our wide selection of homeschooling resources can be helpful for all parents looking for new ideas and ways of engaging kids. We can assist you in finding materials that meet your needs. Please keep your local library in mind - we are here to help!
** New in September!
* We hope you got a chance to enjoy the story stroll at Branch Hill Farm. New stories will be going up shortly! You no longer need to make a appointment to visit the walks, but we do ask that you continue to observe social distancing and be safe.
* We are getting ready to host outdoor story time! Are your little ones ready to see some other children and enjoy the playground? We will focus on short books, songs, and movement to help keep everyone engaged. Once again, we will practice social distancing as much as possible. Join us on Thursday, September 17 at 10:30 AM on the library playground (rain date 9/24).
* If you are looking for homeschool resources, you can access a list via our visual search page.
