Roots & Reads

Join the Verona Public Library and the Community Garden for a fun and hands-on gardening workshop series for young learners and their families! Each session will bring stories to life with garden-themed read-alouds, followed by time in the garden where participants will plant, explore, and care for growing plants. Along the way, we’ll enjoy creative activities, nature-based crafts, and plenty of opportunities to dig in the dirt and discover how things grow. This engaging series nurtures curiosity, encourages a love of reading, and helps children connect with nature and their community—one seed at a time! Registration required. The library’s Safe Child Policy states that children through age 6 must have a responsible adult caregiver within sight and conversation distance at all times. Children through 4th grade must have a responsible adult caregiver inside the library at all times. Students currently in 5th grade and up may visit the library without an adult and are responsible for following the library’s Code of Conduct.
