Books & A Blanket:

A children’s book reading series

Co-hosted by the Wilton Go Green, Wilton Land Trust and Wilton Library

Immerse yourself in nature and join us for the books and a blanket series.  Bring your blanket and enjoy a relaxing story, some arts and crafts, and a hands-on environmental learning experience.

The Wilton Land Trust, Wilton Library, and Wilton Go Green have come together to offer a unique and immersive book-reading experience. Together, we've created an opportunity for families to venture outside, explore nature, listen to stories, and make an upcycled craft. As partners, we're elevating young minds within beautiful landscapes.

Wilton Go Green is committed to engaging, educating, and inspiring Wilton residents to embrace a lifestyle of environmental sustainability.

The Wilton Library is the cultural and intellectual center of Wilton: informing, enriching, connecting, and inspiring the Wilton community.

The Wilton Land Trust is a community-focused nonprofit organization that conserves land, protects biodiversity, enhances ecosystems, and builds community.
