Join Virginia Agriculture in the Classroom as we read "In the Garden with Dr. Carver" by Susan Grisby.

This historical fiction picture book teaches children about agricultural scientist and inventor Dr. George Washington Carver. In our story, Dr. Carver visits young Sally’s school and teaches them about soil, peanuts, sweet potatoes, and more! After our story time, everyone will have a chance to make a germination necklace to take home and to watch it grow into a plant.

About the library

Dale City Library serves the communities of Dale City and Woodbridge. The library provides print and digital materials for all reading levels, as well as books on CD, movies and learning tablets. Additionally, the building offers five public access computers, scanning, copying, and faxing services.

Dale City Library hosts a variety of programs, including weekly story times, monthly LEGO(®) building events, and monthly Pokémon fan days. The children’s area mural, themed “Reaching for the Stars through the World of  Reading,” pays homage to the seven Challenger astronauts who died the same year the library opened. The branch’s rain garden features plants native to Virginia and holds a clue pointing the curious to the building’s geocache location.
