Program Description

Event Details

Walk a mile and get a free book! We are going to walk from the library entrance, complete the walking path around the Bert Ferguson community center (approx. 1 mile), and return to the library. Everyone who successfully completes the walk will receive ONE free book each. Participants may choose their own books from the library's book sale collection. This program is open to all ages. No registration required.

Special notes:

  • Wear comfortable clothes and walking shoes. We highly recommend hats, sunscreen and personal water bottles.
  • In case of inclement weather (extreme heat, heavy rain, snow, etc.), the program will be held inside the library. Participants may walk one mile (approx. 10 rounds inside the library) to qualify for the free book.

Schedule:

  • 10:00 a.m. - library opens
  • 10:05 a.m. - meet inside the library for a quick briefing before the walk
