Happy Halloween! A new StoryWalk will go up this week (after the rain)!
Enjoy a Halloween jaunt with our new StoryWalk. Pages are set up for walkers to read each laminated page of a story (attached to stakes) and installed around the library. This is a great way for readers to enjoy and interact with a story in an outdoor setting, while promoting physical activity. Start right outside our door on School Street, and make your way around the building. Please social distance. Thank you!
StoryWalks were created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT, in partnership with the
Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
