Summer Book Blast is coming to a park near you! We're back at the parks again this summer for read alouds, outdoor play, and book giveaways. Anyone can join us for this great program - we have books for all ages from board books for the little ones all they way up to chapter books. There's no registration required, just drop-in to the park we'll be located at at 10:30 that morning for literacy and play.
Join us on Tuesdays at Baldwin Court Park, Wednesdays at Lower West Park, Thursdays at Kinsmen Park, and Fridays at Saddleback Park starting on July 7th. Because we want to keep all of our friends safe and healthy, and because water and books don't mix, we may have cancellations throughout the summer due to weather or air quality. Keep an eye on our page throughout the summer for SBB status that day.
We'll see you soon!
