StoryWalk at Lake Wilderness Arboretum

The Lake Wilderness Arboretum and Maple Valley Library have partnered together to bring a StoryWalk to Maple Valley. StoryWalk is an innovative approach to encouraging people of all ages to get out and walk while enjoying wonderful children’s books. With her wealth of experience, Sharon Chastain, the children’s librarian at the Maple Valley Library, selects the best children’s books for this story walk project. Then the pages are installed in frames along the Arboretum’s Main Looping Trail so as you walk, you can read the book one page at a time, all while enjoying being outside. Our hope is that this feature will provide children a new way to see, learn and experience the amazing world that we live in.

July StoryWalk: 

This month’s StoryWalk selection, The HIke written by Allison Farrell, is a fun adventure story that celebrates how rewarding it is to explore nature. With beautiful drawings of many native plants and animals to our region this is an educational and entertaining book for budding scientists, good friends, and adventurers.

So get outside, go for a walk, and read a book.
