StoryWalk®

Ongoing • All Ages • Eldridge Park

This summer, enjoy Over in the Forest: A Woodland Animal Nature Book by Marianne Berkes. StoryWalk® installations promote early literacy, physical activity, and family time together in nature. The first panel is found near the playground at Eldridge Park and follows the path going

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.
