Chaz and AJ were teasing the Governor for being so excited about libraries opening up for phase 3, when a real librarian called in to school them on why libraries are so important. (0:00) AJ takes us ...Comment on Facebook Chaz and AJ were ...
You ROCK Teresa! I love my library.
We LOVE our library and all you do for us and our family!
Well, here is a reason to weed out my station list.
My kids love the library and love all the programs that you run! You're great for this community and such a valuable resource. ❤️
Great job promoting the libraries Teresa! Go NB!
Unfortunately, many people don’t realize the very important programming and services provided by our public libraries. I worked for a library services organization a few years back and learned this firsthand.
👏🏻 So great! Was thinking that public libraries are kinda like FM radio in this age of Sirius XM...
Well done Teresa!
Super job, Teresa! 🙌🏻
I am only speaking up for the voice of our library patrons! YOU All are what keeps this institution alive 😊
thanks, Teresa, super job, as always
Looking for a great way to enjoy our parks and beautiful autumn weather? For the month of October, visit the StoryWalk® at North Farms Park, located at 149 Branford Road, North Branford!
Our StoryWalk® connects families and young readers with nature, outdoor exploration and reading. This StoryWalk® is a collaboration between North Branford Parks and Recreation and North Branford Public Libraries. We hope this interactive, family friendly activity encourages a lifelong love of reading and the great outdoors.
Pages from Fletcher and the Falling Leaves by Julia Rawlinson; illustrated by Tiphanie Beeke, have been transformed into signs and displayed along the family-friendly hiking trail at North Farms Park. Follow the path of pages and share in Fletcher’s journey about leaves falling from his favorite tree. Fletcher is worried that something is terribly wrong, but when winter comes it brings a wonderful surprise! Join Fletcher at our StoryWalk® and find out more…
In addition to the walk, you can also pick up a Take-and-Make bag at either the Atwater or Smith Library that includes all the supplies needed to make your own Nature Journal. You can bring your Nature Journal with you on the StoryWalk®. As you walk along and read about Fletcher’s adventure, you can record your observations and discoveries, or perhaps create your own story. Afterwards, visit either North Branford Library to collect a small treat and enter your name in a raffle to win your own copy of Fletcher and the Falling Leaves.
