A jury gathers in Manhattan to select a memorial for the victims of the September 11th attack. Their fraught deliberations complete, the jurors open the envelope containing the anonymous winner’s name–and discover he is an American Muslim. Instantly they are cast into roiling debate about the claims of grief, the ambiguities of art, and the meaning of Islam. “A coherent, timely and fascinating examination of a grieving America’s relationship with itself,” The Washington Post.
The levels are approximately those of Fountas and Pinnell. Leveled reading titles were retrieved from Scholastic Publishing’s website. All annotations and formatting was taken from Wilton Library’s catalog.

Each month children in grades 3-5 will read a book on a mythological theme and discuss it. Snacks will be provided and an activity or craft will be made.

Twenty teams of three students each in grades 4, 5 and 6 from around Connecticut and beyond answered questions about paleontology, especially dinosaurs. Our two teams of Wilton students prepared for five months and worked incredibly hard (meeting once or even twice each week). Their diligence paid off handsomely because they took First and Second Place in the competition! Thanks to Coaches Darrell Fennell and Katherine Fennell for preparing the students so well. We are also grateful to Coordinator Andrea McElroy who took care of the many arrangements. Special thanks to Library staffer Lesley Keogh for all her work on this program!
Congratulations to all! We are so proud of you!
