An Arbor Day Celebration
- Richland Library

Collection
Arbor Day (the first Friday in December) is the beginning of tree planting season in South Carolina.
Celebrate safely by finding moments to walk among the trees and appreciate their quiet majesty. Reading can also deepen our knowledge of even every day subjects. This curated selection of books offers titles for everyone - stories about the importance of trees, the science and even hands-on activities.
“A tree is nice to plant. You dig the biggest hole you can and put the little tree in. Then you pour in lots of water and then the dirt. You hang the shovel back in the garage. Every day for years and YEARS you watch the little tree grow. You say to people, ‘I planted that tree.'" - A Tree is Nice by Janice May Udry
