If you grew up with a Mom who always said, 'Let's play the glad game!' Tou would make sure you…read morevisited the Little Library too for a glimpse of the fictional character, Polyanna, who often was an image throughout your life. I came across the information about the statue in my research when I was planning a Santa's village weekend. I then knew I was going to Rey and make a sighting happened. Saturday morning. 3 inches of snow on the ground and our cabin has no breakfast. Crum Bum (bakery) hit my radar. I parked directly across the street from Crum and I saw the Polyanna Gateway! Then I thought, where is the statue and just beyond my husband's truck, there she was! It was meant to be! I happily went up the large step, took a photo of her and then us together. I then sent the photos to my Mom!

One of those 'local' things you do when in the area. The author of Pollyanna is from Littleton, NH…read moreand so the town commemorated her work with a statue. This jubilant statue of Pollyanna has her arms flung wide and her face to the sun ready to embrace the day. Located on the front lawn of the library, the parking lot is behind the building or park in town and walk over. Across the street is the Pollyanna Gateway which is a pedestrian stairway with a piano on the sidewalk at the top for anyone to play and colorful umbrellas overhead. At the bottom of the staircase is a public mural project. Littleton, NH is a cute little town with shops and restaurants to visit while in the area. A nice stop along the way.
