Every other Wednesday in June, July & August (except July 2)
10 AM – 1 PM

Stop by and visit the library’s mobile science center at Pine Street Woods. Field guides, microscopes, and binoculars are available to explore the wild ecosystem in your backyard.  Collect data and report back to the science center which will help Kaniksu Land Trust gauge the health of the Pine Street Woods.

This program is designed for participants to arrive and depart at their leisure. The bulk of activities can be enjoyed in under an hour.

Pine Street Woods is located at 111915 West Pine Street. Directions are posted at kaniksu.org/pinestreetwoods.

Kick off the Library Summer Reading program “Color Our World” in style with a colorful, fun run around Travers Park! Start at the information booths and art experiences in front of the James E Russell Center entrance. The color run will begin at 10 am and wrap up by 11 am. The run/walk is .5 miles and can be done with strollers, walkers, or other mobility devices. There will be staged start times for the age brackets, though this is an untimed run.

Activities will be available for all ages and abilities, along with interactive art experiences! This event is all about community and is our kickoff event to Summer Reading at the Library and summer programs with the Library and the YMCA.

Due to our limited parking, we encourage you to carpool, or walk to the event if possible. The Litehouse YMCA parking lot is available for overflow parking. We kindly request that you leave your dogs and bikes at home for this event. Service animals are welcome.

Registration is free with a donation to the food bank.

Join us for an exciting morning at Travers Park celebrating the start of summer vacation and continued learning with the Library, the YMCA, and the City of Sandpoint.
