Take a walk outside and enjoy a great story at the Make Way for Ducklings Storywalk in Gibson Park April 27th to May 8th. Pages from Robert McCloskey’s classic picture book will be placed along the paved walking path. Start the Storywalk near the parking area, then follow signs for a leisurely stroll through the flower gardens. Follow the signs as they round back toward the playground and duck pond. To accompany the Storywalk, there will be a Special Storytime at the Gibson Park Bandshell on Saturday, May 1st at 10:30, weather and COVID-permitting. The rain date for the Storytime is May 5th at 10:30.
Celebrate Unicorn Appreciation Day with Unicorn Horn Craft Kits for kids 3 and up. The kits will be available in Kids’ Place starting April 1st and while supplies last. As always, these craft kits are available free of charge to all children, even visitors to Great Falls and others who do not have a library card.
The Great Falls Public Library Youth Services department would like to remind kids and teens who completed the Pi Day Virtual Escape Room to pick up their free pie coupons in the Kids’ Place.
