Ready! Set!! READ!!!
Arlington Public Library and SouthWest Arlington Geocachers are partnering once again to bring you adventures in reading, fun summer activities, and a geocaching challenge. We hope you will Exercise Your Mind by reading a few books this summer and by finding the dozen caches we have hidden for you. Each of the caches this year will take you to a place where you can exercise or participate in a sport or just find a quiet place under a tree to read those books.
Find all 12 caches and receive a commemorative tag (first 90 finders by July 31st).
If you would like to participate in the Adult Summer Reading Program and be eligible for additional fun prizes, pick up a reading log from the library or enter online. Your goal is to read at least five hours between June 4 and July 30.
A book for you to add to your reading list: "Old Fashioned Children’s Games" by Sharon O'Bryan
Perfect for your summer activities: outdoor games and songs that were part of your childhood, as well as car trip and quiet time games. Remember Red Light, Green Light and Red Rover?
A spot for you to watch the children play: Parkway Central Park
Park Hours: 5 a.m. - 10 p.m.
This beautiful 16-acre neighborhood park invites you to two playgrounds, an informal practice field, an outdoor performance area, and a large pavilion. Bring your picnic and your book and your children for a wonderful outdoor experience.
