Mid-Hudson Battle of the Books!
We’re excited to announce that the Stone Ridge Library will be participating in the Battle of the Books trivia competition this year! The Mid-Hudson Library System (MHLS) Battle of the Books is a summer reading and trivia competition for students in grades 5-12 (ages 10-18), designed to promote literacy, teamwork, and library engagement across a five-county region. Teams from local libraries read eight pre-selected books, meet regularly to discuss them, and compete in a regional, fast-paced trivia battle in mid-September. If you are interested in being on the Stone Ridge Library’s Battle of the Books team, please come to our first information session on Tuesday, June 23rd at 3:15. You can learn how it works, see the books we’ll be reading, and decide if it’s right for you!

Wayfinder Adventures: Unearth Your Story!
Wednesdays 4 – 5 pm in July: July 1, 8, 15, 22
Participants will engage in an exciting process of creating brand-new imaginary worlds, guided by a process that shapes the world’s geographical and cultural underpinnings. Resources will be provided to either tell stories in the shared world or to create one’s own, including instructions on map-making and other aspects of world generation. With the world that is created, we will talk about what stories might naturally fit the setting and how a world itself creates the stories that come out of it. Registration is required. For ages 10-15.
Tween Crafting Series

July 29, August 5 & 12
Join us for three separate crafting workshops this summer! Kids 9-14 are welcome to attend. Registration is required.
