‘March into Reading’ with Bighorn Canyon

The Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area invites children to “March into Reading” during the month of March, when park rangers will partner with the Lovell Library to read with a ranger.

March into Reading is a nationwide event encouraging people of all ages to read. It is designed to foster a love of reading in children and adults alike. Park staff and Lovell Library will host four events in the month of March to inspire children to read.
