StoryWalk® Collection Launch – Drop-in Program
Everyone welcome; children must be accompanied by an adult. Join us for the launch of GVPL’s StoryWalk® collection. Individual pages of a storybook, mounted on sign posts, are placed outdoors in a circuit. Children follow the narrative by visiting each sign post in sequence. After the StoryWalk®, join us at the branch for nature-inspired activities. Rain or shine; please dress appropriately. The collection was made possible thanks to a Times Colonist Raise-a-Reader grant.
