StoryWalk at Kesling Park Ribbon Cutting

The La Porte County Public Library, in collaboration with the City of La Porte Park and Recreation Department, are unveiling a StoryWalk at Kesling Park at 11 a.m. on Friday, May 1.  To celebrate this new community feature, the Greater La Porte Chamber of Commerce will be administering a Ribbon Cutting at the event. The location will be near beginning of the walking path off of 18^th Street.
Come and celebrate! There is no cost to attend.
A StoryWalk ™ combines a children’s book with a walking path.  The concept was created by Anne Ferguson of the Vermont Bicycle and Pedestrian Coalition.  A picture book is taken apart, laminated, and mounted on posts along a walkway.  StoryWalks™ now exist in at least 38 states.  It is a great way to combine literacy with physical activity.  It is a way to reach non-library users by creating a positive library related experience in an unexpected environment. It is also their hope that the StoryWalk will bring regular Library users to parks for fresh air and exercise.
