We have been trying out new ways to continue our mission of promoting literacy throughout this pandemic.  We have been live-streaming daily storybook readings for about 6 weeks now and have recently begun to offer free books for the taking at our new BOOK SPOT! Visitors of the 100-Acre Wood can find the Book Spot at our entrance kiosk.  The books inside the Book Spot have been in storage for well over 6 months and are safe for the taking.  We are adding books when needed and also trying to vary the type of books available.  Books that can be found in the Book Spot range from baby board books to chapter books for kids and even adult books.  Grab a book and enjoy! Also, at the Book Spot visitors are encouraged to donate their gently-used books.  If you have been spending time cleaning or reorganizing your home, and not sure what to do with books, we will take them! Books that are donated will go into storage for several months before we offer them to the public. We hope you take this time to rest and read some great books! Healthy exercise for your brain!

As much as we have enjoyed January with all of the snow, we are now looking forward to a few events coming up in February and March!  Make sure you save these dates as you will not want to miss them! First up, Believe in Books Literacy Foundation will be a participant in the MWV Ski Touring and Snowshoe Foundation’s 30th Annual Chocolate Festival once again!  The “Sweetest Day on the Trails” will take place on Sunday, February 24th starting at 11 am.  Festival goers must purchase a pass through the MWV Ski Touring and Snowshoe Foundation to enjoy the many stops on and off the trail system that will be offering sweet treats.  If you purchase a pass, make sure you stop by the 100-Acre Wood Sugar Shack to sample some delicious chocolate and maple treats! Next on the calendar, mark your Saturdays starting on March 2nd for the return of our Storybook Character Breakfast Series!  Beginning with Cat in the Hat on the first Saturday, then each Saturday following enjoy visits from Curious George, Cinderella, Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, Beauty and the Beast, Tigger, and of course the Lorax, we are sure to have an amazing time!  We hope to see you at the Theater in the Wood for these special visits!  Stay tuned for more info about this series! Later in March, save the date: Friday, March 22nd!  We are excited to announce the return of the hilarious comedian, Juston McKinney! With multiple performances on The Tonight Show, his own Comedy Central specials and consistently selling out theaters, he’s at the top of his game. He will be performing at the Theater in the Wood at 7:00 pm.  Tickets are only $25, get them online now to save your spot and enjoy a hysterical night out!
