Wondering what else to do with kids at home over Spring Break?

Napa County Libraries in American Canyon, Napa, Yountville and Calistoga have a suggestion: the In-N-Out Cover-to-Cover Reading Challenge taking place between now and April 18, for kids 4 - 12.

Stop by your local library branch to register. When your young readers have completed their reading log, they'll receive a reward card from In-N-Out Burger for a free hamburger, cheeseburger, grilled cheese, or veggie sandwich. Kids need to be present to redeem their prize and the last day to redeem is April 18.

Getting Kids Outdoors this Spring with Napa County Parks

Thanks to our friends at Napa County Regional Park & Open Space District for their work to share outdoor resources for kids and families.

They've put together a Spring Trails Challenge encouraging you to bring your family and hit the trail, from the kid-friendly garden with poppies at the entrance at Moore Creek Park (St. Helena) to Wetlands Edge Park in American Canyon, and beyond.

It's a message that we can get behind this Spring: #GoOutsideandPlay
