Grassroots Picnic Project
A weekly community picnic, run by the Free Library of New Hope & Solebury during Summer Reading
Tuesday Evenings from 6/16 through 8/18, 5-7pm on the NHS-SD practice field on Bridge Street, near the District Offices

This summer, pack a picnic, grab your friends, and gather with the Library!

We’ll have music, snacks, crafts, and a chance to talk about how to shape our community’s future. With different featured guests each week, we’ll hear from neighbors, organizers, elected officials and more about what they’re doing in our own backyard. And, importantly, they will hear from YOU! Part picnic, part workshop, all fun! Bring your ideas, your friends, and your enthusiasm - let’s build up our community toolkit to make real change at home.

PLUS: Lolly Hopwood's super popular Musical Evening Storytime will take place during the picnic at 5:30! This interactive story time is filled with imagination and movement that gets the families up and using their bodies and their minds. With props like parachutes, pom poms, scarves, bubbles, and puppets, these programs are a memorable time for the whole family. Please note that Lolly will not be at the Grassroots Picnic Project on 7/14 or 8/4.

Registration not required for this program. Summer Reading at the Free Library of New Hope & Solebury is made possible by generous grants from the Haley Foundation, New Hope Helping, and the Friends of the Free Library of New Hope & Solebury. Thank you for your support!
