- “Read While You Wait” Ladybug Book Bins: Bins of gently used children’s books are available at various locations throughout Chilliwack. These bins, marked by their joyful wooden ladybug design, provide books for young children to enjoy with their parents or caregivers while waiting for services.
- StoryWalk®: StoryWalk® combines reading with physical activity. Laminated pages from a children’s book are displayed along a path, letting participants follow the story as they walk, promoting literacy, family engagement, and exercise. Materials can be borrowed for your own StoryWalk®.
