Let's make this week one to remember. 💛 ​ Hey Triad families! If you're looking for a screen-free summer adventure that’s fun, free, and full of books, this one’s for you. 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? Register here and join the Facebook group for updates, location maps, and reading tips! Why We Love This📖 It keeps reading exciting 👟 It gets families out and about 🛍️ It supports local businesses 🎁 And there are prizes involved. Enough said. If you’ve been following Piedmont Triad Living for a while, you know we’re big fans of using local libraries and free resources to support your child’s learning and creativity. (If you missed it, check out our previous blog post about Free Things to Do at Local Libraries!) The Summer Reading Trail is the perfect way to keep that love of learning going strong—even when school’s out. 📚✨ A Summer Full of Stories and SmilesSo grab your trail map, grab your favorite reading buddy, and get ready to explore Greensboro in a whole new way. Who knows—your next favorite book (or smoothie shop!) might be just one stop away. Happy reading, adventuring, and memory-making! 💛 There’s something about practicing yoga outside that just feels right. The fresh air, the breeze through the trees, the sunlight warming your face — it all becomes part of your flow. And when you're surrounded by your neighbors, your friends, your community? That’s when movement becomes something more. This summer, the Piedmont Triad is serving up some serious yoga inspiration — and the best part? It’s all free. Starting May 29, from weekly meetups to monthly gatherings, these outdoor yoga classes invite everyone, from total beginners to seasoned yogis, to come together and simply breathe. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful pause, a new wellness routine, or just an excuse to get outside and move your body, there’s a mat waiting for you.  Why Yoga? Why Community?Yoga is more than a stretch — it’s a practice of presence. It invites you to slow down, to notice your breath, and to care for your body in a gentle and powerful way. And doing it alongside others? That’s where the magic multiplies. Community yoga reminds us: You're not in this alone. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to show up. Plus, outdoor classes offer the added bonus of vitamin D, grounding energy from nature, and a chance to discover new public spaces around the Triad.
