Take a walk at the library and enjoy a story!
A StoryWalk® is an innovative and delightful way for children--and adults--to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. This summer we are reading the book Hike by Pete Oswald. This beautifully illustrated book is told in pictures and follows a father and his child on a hiking adventure. Share pictures of your walk and tag us on social media with #APLstorywalk.
The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Storywalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.
