STORYWALK®


The Harrisburg District Library in cooperation with the Harrisburg Township Park District presents a StoryWalk® for our community to enjoy. The StoryWalk® Project is a popular collaboration between libraries and parks to bring together the love of reading and being outside. For a StoryWalk®, a book is laminated, mounted, and placed along a walking path. Families can stroll down the path, reading the book as they move along. 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.



The book is displayed along the Drew Blair Trail Way at Paul Emery Park. The approximate walking distance to read the entire book is one half (½) mile. There is a comment box at the end of the StoryWalk® and we ask readers to tell us the date, number in your party, where you are from and any comments or suggestions you have for the project.  The Harrisburg Township Park District would like to thank the Harrisburg District Library for this opportunity to partner together to help make our community a better place.
