Little Roots is an engaging, interactive community music experience founded on the belief that music is for everyone.  As lifelong musicians, Little Roots creators, Annie Lynch Stevenson and Maggie Shar, recognize the value of quality live, interactive music from birth onward. Maggie and Annie select and write songs that are rooted in a variety of folk music traditions and are intentionally enjoyable for people of all ages.

CALL FOR CHILDREN’S BOOKS!

This August, The Mount is hosting a Children’s Book Swap as part of our Community Day celebration! We’re collecting gently loved children’s books to share the joy of reading with other families in our community. If you have books your kids have outgrown, this is the perfect chance to give them a second life. All ages, reading levels, and languages are welcome!

Please drop off your gently loved books at The Mount anytime this summer. We will have a bin in the Stable, and books will also be accepted at the Ticket Booth and other Youth & Family Programs. 

Join us on August 10 for Community Day to explore the Children’s Book Swap and take home new favorites for your family to enjoy!
