Enjoy a day of fun with your family at the Douglas Library StoryWalk in April, featuring free prizes. Your family will enjoy spending time together outdoors while reading a story and being active.

When you’re done, pop in the library to learn about all the great things you can do with a FREE library card, and register to win a Samsung Tablet. There are two ways to enter the drawing for the Grand Prize Samsung Tablet, either come into the Douglas Library or you can fill out the feedback form with your name and contact information using the QR Code on the Story Walk.

Beginning in mid-April there will be a Story Walk placed outside of the Douglas Library, and you bring your child to enjoy the story and get some fresh air. There will be a QR Code link for you to give your feedback on the Story Walk and enter the grand prize. You may also come into the Douglas Library to enter the grand prize, after enjoying the Story Walk. In the first week of May, there will be a drawing for the grand prize, a Samsung Tablet.
