The Stowe Free Library is creating a Wish Tree for an upcoming community project, and we're looking for a little help!

We're hoping to find a large tree branch with lots of smaller branches that we can display indoors. Visitors will be invited to write a wish on a scrap of fabric and tie it to the branches.

Please reply here or contact the Stowe Free Library if you can help. Thank you for helping us bring this project to life!

This project is based on the Lanpher Memorial Library wish tree pictured below who based their tree on the novel "Wishtree" by Katherine Applegate.

From the origins of the 2015 nuclear deal to the February 2026 strikes and their aftermath, we'll trace how decades of diplomacy, distrust, and regional rivalries led to the current war with Iran, how it affected us, and what might come next.
