This week, May 5th-11th is Screen-Free Week. Presented by the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, Screen-Free Week encourages families to spend a week without entertainment screen media--i.e. no TV watching, video game playing or internet surfing for entertainment's sake. Instead families spend the week doing things together, being creative and getting active. Want to participate? There are ideas on the official Screen-Free Week website, or Canton Public Library has lots of resources to help you think of fun things to do.
