One of our favorite things to do as a family is explore our parks. Add in reading and we've found a match made in heaven. Capital Area District Libraries have combined the two and we could not be more enthused.
"StoryWalk® encourages families to enjoy reading and the outdoors by posting a children's book - a page or two at a time - at intervals in a park, hiking trail or other outdoor site. StoryWalk includes activities like talking, reading, writing, singing and playing to help your child develop important early literacy skills." -CADL
