Scott Park is a beautiful green space centrally located within the community of Porcupine Plain; the Town of Porcupine Plain & Porcupine Plain Public Library worked together to introduce the Story Stroll at Scott Park, an active literacy program meant to keep children and adults active and maintain children’s reading skills. The Story Stroll has become a very popular program, enjoyed by many families with young children and by local daycare providers — even adults and seniors enjoy reading the posted stories while out for a walk!
For the first week of Culture Days, between September 23rd & 30th, a copy of Phyllis’s Orange Shirt will be posted, with a brief history of Orange Shirt Day and Truth & Reconciliation Day. Stories will be updated throughout the rest of Culture Days. As the Porcupine Plain area has a rich Ukrainian history, as well as a large Filipino community, we will update the Story Stroll with pages of books written in both English/Ukrainian and English/Filipino.
STARTING JANUARY 2023, BINGO WILL BE CHANGING TO FRIDAY EVENINGS AT 7:30P.M.
