A new, interactive storybook-reading project through Sturgis District Library will be unveiled Friday at Plumb Lake County Park.
The library is developing a StoryWalk program, which engages families in literacy and getting active.
Pages from a children’s book are deconstructed, usually laminated, then placed in displays on wooden stakes or in permanent or removable storyboards along a walkable path at a park, school, neighborhood or city’s downtown area.
Families have the opportunity of reading aloud together and building children’s interest in reading, while enjoying the health benefits of exercise, said Michelle Frost, children and youth services librarian at Sturgis District Library.
