The Greensboro Summer Reading Trail is officially underway, and we think it’s one of the sweetest ways to explore the city, support local businesses, and keep the kids reading all summer long. 💛  So… What’s the Reading Trail? Think of it like a literary scavenger hunt across Greensboro! From June 1 through July 31, families can visit participating local businesses, where each stop features a book to enjoy; either a picture book to read together or a shared chapter book (same one at every location, so you can read a little more with each visit!). All you have to do is:
📚 A full set of all the Reading Trail books 🎟 A 4-pack of tickets to the Greensboro Science Center & Carousel! 👉 Ready to get started?
