Storywalks®
|
Enjoy reading AND the outdoors at the same time! A StoryWalk® is a fun family activity that places a children’s story (literally a book taken apart) along a walking trail. As you stroll, you and your child are directed to the next page in the story. Geared toward toddler - preschool age, but all are welcome! Stories will be posted from 10am to 12pm on Mondays at the Mashpee Public Library Green and Thursdays on Falmouth Public Library Lawn. Take home activity packs will be available while supplies last. Sign up to get notified of the new stories each week!
