Out in the community? You can enjoy the StoryWalk®––a fun, educational activity that places the pages from a children’s story along a walking route at local parks. Each stop on the StoryWalk® offers a fun activity designed to build early literacy skills, combining the pleasure of reading aloud with the benefits of moving together outdoors. These are the books that have graced the Monroe County Public Library StoryWalks®. Learn more about the locations.
