StoryWalk ® “Mole Music” May 31, 2-4 p.m.
Don’t miss this opportunity to combine physical activity with literacy. The StoryWalk® is meant for people of all ages to get walking while reading a children’s picture book. Here’s how it works: pages of a book are laminated and then attached to signposts laid out on a path. Families and children of all ages follow the path and progressively read the story. The StoryWalk® kick-off will be held on Saturday, May 31. Celebrate the completion of the course with “mole dirt” cake, lemonade and live music. If you miss the kick-off event on Saturday, the Story Walk® course will continue to be available for community members to explore on their own during the month of June. StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition and the Kellogg Hubbard Library.
