Children’s Bookshelf

In memory of Paula Dillemuth

Hilltop’s Children’s Bookshelf provides a reading opportunity for kids visiting the Arboretum.

book plate with Paula Dillemuth's pictureHelp us expand our library of children’s books about trees, nature, plants, animals, bugs, gardening, ponds and woods, and all things Hilltop! If you would like to donate a book to the new children’s library, check out the titles in the suggested Book List in the sidebar. The books stay on a designated Children’s Bookshelf in the Hilltop Gift Shop and are available to the public for reading anytime the office and gift shop are open.

A specially designed bookplate will identify each book as belonging to the Hilltop Children’s Bookshelf, in memory of Paula Dillemuth. Paula was Hilltop’s Administrative Assistant and started the Hilltop Summer Academy.

Hilltop friend Randy Harelson put together a book list with suggestions by longtime kindergarten teacher Margo Eglin and LSU children’s literature instructor Ann Trousdale. If you would like to donate any of the books from the book list, use the Amazon Wish List link in the sidebar or contact Hilltop at 225-767-6916 or info@friendsofhilltop.org.
