Storywalk

Chatham Area Public Library StoryWalk®

StoryWalk® is a fun, educational activity that places the pages of a book along a popular walking route. StoryWalk® combines the joy of reading with all the benefits of being active outside. The pages of a children’s book are placed in holders along a path. As you walk the path you discover page after page, and pretty soon after a short stroll you have read a story.

The new StoryWalk that can be found at the Chatham Veterans Memorial Square off north Main in Chatham, and it’s sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike.

The StoryWalk is free to all and accessible during normal park hours. Book selections will rotate on a regular basis.
