StoryWalk?: Reading Along the Trails
Current StoryWalk?
Big Night for Salamanders, by Sarah Lamstein and Carol Benioff
Background
StoryWalk? is an innovative and delightful way to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. The concept was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vermont, and developed in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition and the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.

We got started with assistance from Let's Go! York County, a program of MaineHealth, who loaned us our first two stories. They were so popular we decided to start producing our own. our StoryWalks are mounted along the Saw-whet Owl Trail, unless otherwise specified:
