New to the Library Campus—STORYWALK
We will be setting up our first StoryWalk, also known as a Storybook Trail, around the lawn at the Williams House. Our first featured book is At One In a Place Called Maine by Lynn Plourde (Islandport Press). Start at the first station near the driveway and move from post to post as you follow the pages. The StoryWalk® concept was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and was developed with the help of Rachel Senechal, Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
Thanks to Jeannie Burnett for help making it all happen; thanks to Doug Stevenson for constructing and painting the panels and posts; and thanks to Dave Petell for pacing out and setting it all up.
At One will stay up for a few weeks. We’re looking forward to swapping out new stories in the future. Let us know how you like it!
We caught a couple StoryWalk adventurers experiencing the new trail. A copy of the book is available at the library too.
