BOOKS FOR STORY WALK and for our Free Little Library
StoryWalk® is an innovative and delightful way for children — and adults! — to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. Laminated pages from a children's book are installed along an outdoor path. As you stroll down the trail, you're directed to the next page in the story.
StoryWalk® was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and has developed with the help of Rachel Senechal, Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
To create a story for the Story walk - we need three copies of a Children's book - preferably with colorful pictures and not a lot of text.
