Walk and Read at Meadowbrook Park – Saturday, May 13 – May 21, All day, anytime
Family and friends of all ages are invited to join Johnson County Library for a walk in a park! Walk and Read creates a reading opportunity for all, in various parks throughout Johnson County. Those who participate will read two stories posted around a path, one going each direction. When you finish one story, you can turn around to the other side of the sign and begin the next story, which will lead you back around the path. The Walk and Read program encourages physical activity, literacy and family time. The paths are stroller and wheelchair friendly, allowing for all to join in the fun! Dates are subject to adjustment due to inclement weather conditions. Look for updated information at jocolibrary.org. Johnson County Library, and invite you to visit the Walk and Read at Meadowbrook Park. Two stories, “The Mommy Book” by Todd Parr and “Be a Star, Wonder Woman!” by Michael Dahl, will be posted.
