Take a Walk on the Woodsy Side

NRPL’s Summer Reading Challenge: Tails & Tales is here, which means we’re honoring awesome animals all summer long! This week at the library, we’re highlighting the forest! Take a Walk on the Woodsy Side! The forest, whether it’s New Rochelle’s own Nature Study Woods or deep in the wilderness, is always a fascinating place to explore.
