Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library – StoryWalk

Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library (HCCPL) introduces its first StoryWalk. This project was completed in part by a grant from Kentucky Humanities and in partnership with the Hopkinsville Parks and Recreation Department.
A StoryWalk is an interactive, outdoor reading experience. Participants will read a picture book by walking from page to page, and they’ll discover bonus activities along the way. This temporary fixture will be featured on the greenway trail, between the library and the bridge near West Side Park, until Saturday, Aug. 1. The reading activity covers roughly a quarter of a mile.
“A StoryWalk offers a great opportunity to blend wellness and literacy,” said Jennifer Annis-Domenech, HCCPL Youth Services Librarian. “In addition to reading the books on the signs and walking along the trail, participants will be encouraged to skip, jump, hop, and sing.”
The two books featured in the StoryWalk will be The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs by John Scieszka and A is for Another Rabbit by Hannah Batsel. “We hope this is just the first of many StoryWalks to come,” Annis-Domenech said.
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.
