Description

Join Wake County Public Libraries for an engaging and family-focused pop-up experience at the beautiful Dix Park. This unique mobile library service allows community members to sign up for library cards, browse a curated selection of materials to check out, and conveniently return items you have previously borrowed. We are thrilled to bring these essential resources directly into our community space for everyone to enjoy.

The highlight of the morning is our interactive Family Story Time, beginning promptly at 10:30 am. This program is specifically designed to nurture early literacy skills in young children through a delightful blend of books, music, movement, and rhymes. It is a wonderful opportunity for families to bond while fostering a lifelong love of reading in a supportive, outdoor environment.

We invite you to mark your calendars for our upcoming series dates throughout the summer months. This program is provided entirely free to the public, thanks to the generous support of the Dix Park Conservancy donors. We look forward to seeing you and your little ones there for a morning of learning, discovery, and community fun.
