Join us for our No Child Left inside Programs...

Too much time indoors with television, video games and computers can be harmful to our children. Our No Child Left Inside Programs bring fun and learning outside of the library. We have met at local parks for storytime, museums such as CMEE & SOFO, over the winter we meet real reindeer or cut down our Mitten Tree at local nurseries, we visit Amy's Ark Yoga/Art Studio and Farm in Westhampton, the Quogue Wildlife Refuge and Suffolk County Farm in Yaphank for hands-on nature experiences. In the Summer we collect sealife for our Discovery Tank at Ponquogue Bridge Beach with Cornell Marine Instructors and cool off in Atlantis Marine World Aquarium or visit The Hall of Fishes and walk along the water at The Vanderbilt Museum. In the Fall join us for apple & pumpkin picking at local farms or hiking and wildlife observation at Morton Bird Sanctuary in Sag Harbor. We look forward to visiting new places like the the Parrish Art Museum, the Pollock Krasner House and more in the future! No Child Left Inside sessions may run for 3 or 4 weeks or be a singular date, please check our newsletter and blog posts for details. This national movement seeks to reconnect our children with nature and began with the book Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv. Check out the book from our Parenting Collection or go to http://richardlouv.com/ for more information.
