StoryWalk®
Coming Soon to Sickles Park Playground!
Look for a new StoryWalk® book at Sickles Park playground in early October! Little Silver Library has collaborated with Little Silver Recreation to bring another StoryWalk® book to our community! StoryWalk® is a way for children to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. 

Our next book, “Be You” by Peter H. Reynolds, will be mounted onto signs around the playground. The signs will be numbered and will direct you to the next pages in the book. The StoryWalk® book will change several times throughout the year.


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.
