City of Powell Parks & Recreation

Pack your park blanket and your favorite book, grab a DORA beverage and snack from a local business, and meet us on the Village Green Sunday June 7, 11:00am-1:30am. Read on the Green will feature a community book swap (bring some take some), reading in community, and Delaware County District Library will be there to make signing up for a library card a cinch. Not sure there is anything better!
So simple it may be confusing. Come read in the park with your friends and neighbors. No assigned reading. No pressure. ALL are welcome. All book formats encouraged. Always free.
Here's to community, quiet pages, and the comfort of belonging.
