Get outside and READ!

Looking for a new way to enjoy the outdoors? It's on the path behind the playground (which is behind the Hopkinton Town Library). The book, Moose Tracks, by Karma Wilson, is displayed along the path for you and your family to read as you walk. The book was generously donated by Main Street Bookends, located in Warner, NH. Knowlton Realtors provided the box holding the trail notebook. Be sure to let us know that you've been on the trail by recording it in the notebook and tell us what you think!

The Story Walk TM will be there from now until spring, for you to enjoy in sneakers or snowshoes!

Free and open to the public. Questions? Call the Hopkinton Town Library at 746-3663 or email Lmaynard@hopkintontownlibrary.org

News from Mrs. Maynard - Your generous donations of moose money this summer, will be used to support the Bald Eagle at New Hampshire Audubon in Concord for the month of November. I hope you'll be able to go visit the eagle this month, along with the other raptors and birds. Thank you so much for your kind donations.
