Storybook Walk
During the Summer Reading Program, gather the family to read the children’s classic, “Harold and the Purple Crayon” by Crockett Johnson in downtown Grants Pass and Cave Junction business windows from mid-June through the end of July.
A Storybook Walk is an outdoor reading and walking experience of a children’s book with the pages of the book placed in different areas along a walking path.
Families are invited to stroll through downtown on their own time and at their own pace to read the featured story. Each “chapter” directs participants to the next location.
