Read. Walk. Talk
Join the Grand Rapids Public Library for an outdoor reading experience along the North Quarter Pathway in the Creston Neighborhood. Follow the path and find pages of the picture book, Señorita Mariposa by Ben Gundersheimer. Children, parents, grandparents, and caregivers are invited to read each page aloud as they complete their journey. After the walk, stop by any GRPL location to pick up a butterfly puppet craft kit to take home, while supplies last.
