The community is invited to take a self-guided StoryWalk at Library Park on Wednesday, May 2, from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 pm. A StoryWalk is an innovative way to combine physical activity and reading and is appropriate for all ages. Pages of a book are transformed into signs that are laid out in a trail, inviting families, children, caregivers, teachers, and others to follow the path of pages.

The book offered for this StoryWalk is Scoot! a nature-filled story by Maine children’s author and illustrator Cathryn Falwell. Falwell will visit the Library Park Gazebo at 4:00 p.m. to present an interactive word game about movement, read from Scoot!, and lead visitors through the StoryWalk. Scoot! and other books by the author will be available for purchase and signing.
