Brand New Story Walks!
Brand new Story Walks at Chinchilla Botanic Parklands, Tara Lagoon and coming soon to Myall Creek in Dalby.
With success in receiving an innovation grant from State Library of Queensland’s First 5 Forever program, Western Downs Libraries have installed 3 permanent Story Walks in our region.
Featuring titles from the Stories for Little Queenslanders series, our Story Walks are designed to build children’s interest in reading while encouraging healthy outdoor activity for little ones and their grown-ups alike.
Pack your walking shoes and hat, and take time to discover where our walks will take you!
