Posted on July 15, 2021July 15, 2021 by Rebecca Smith

Our new StoryWalk® for July features the imaginative picture book Mr. Tiger Goes Wild by Peter Brown. You are invited to walk around the library building and enjoy this fun story on the following dates (weather permitting, of course–precipitation and winds of 13+ mph can be a challenge):

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 along the walkway, you’re directed to the next page in the story.

StoryWalk® was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and was developed with the help of Rachel Senechal, Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
