Keeping Up With Kids

I know many of you have developed fantastic opportunities for people in your community to enjoy picture books OUTSIDE, while walking around parks, downtown areas, in the yard outside the library, and many other creative places.  Many of you have added to the IFLS StoryWalk™ resource, and here’s a chance to share your project with an even wider area!

The Association of Bookmobile and Outreach Services and Let’s Move in Libraries is prepping for a for a week-long event celebrating the inspiring work of libraries who spearhead StoryWalk® programs – promoting literacy, reading, health, exercise, and movement in communities and neighborhoods across the United States and the world.

Submissions are open now and run through November 8, 2021. They are looking for submissions of all StoryWalk® programs and variations, including Story Strolls, Story Trails, PoetryWalks: Whatever you call it – if it involves reading materials posted along paths – they want to feature it!  You can submit your information here.

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.
