Arbor Day was yesterday, April 29, 2022. And it was a REALLY big deal this year because it was the 50th anniversary! This blog was supposed to be available early, so you could actually read the tree books on Arbor Day. Alas, the library (as well as all Jefferson County libraries) were without internet for two days. Luckily, trees are worthy of celebrating every day of the year! There have been a tremendous amount of tree books published in the last year or so. Here are some of my favorites!
