StoryWalk®: Reading Along the Trails

Background
StoryWalk® is an innovative and delightful way to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. The concept was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vermont, and developed in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition and the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.

We got started with assistance from Let's Go! York County, a program of MaineHealth, who loaned us our first two stories. They were so popular we decided to start producing our own. These are the books we have featured thus far:
