Early Childhood Literacy Program

StoryWalk on the library grounds:

• We follow a map of storybook pages placed across the library’s outdoor gardens, pausing to sit, read, and play, at each page. Followed by light refreshments and an arts and crafts project.

• Takes place from 3 - 4 every Friday in April, May, September, and October, weather permitting. Please call ahead to verify.

• All ages welcomed. Each child must have the supervision of their grown-up.

• Hosted by our trained Children's Department librarians or librarian assistants. 

• This program enhances developmental activities for children through playing, singing, writing, reading, and talking. These practices help children start to develop phonological awareness, vocabulary, print awareness, letter knowledge, and background knowledge (Ghoting, n.d.).
