Outside the Lines: Story Stroll Strategic Goal #1: Inspire Learning Strategic Goal #2: Facilitate Connection Strategic Goal #3: Create Opportunity We are partnering with Carson City Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department to provide Carson City with an active reading program for Outside the Lines (OTL). A self led Story Stroll will be available to the public at Carson River Park September 10-30, 2017 to promote reading, highlight our open spaces, and engage our community. This fun, educational program promotes literacy by getting children engaged in reading in a unique way. Additionally, the stroll encourages healthy activities utilizing Carson City’s trails. Be sure to document your stroll by taking pictures and using the hashtags #getOTL #CCStoryStroll #IWalkForMyLibrary on Social Media.
