The Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library is hosting a winter-themed StoryWalk through January.
The new StoryWalk, in partnership with Hopkinsville Parks & Recreation, features “While We Can’t Hug” by Eoin McLaughlin and “Snowmen at Night” by Caralyn Buehner.
The StoryWalk Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vermont. This outdoor reading experience walks families page-by-page through the stories with bonus activities throughout.
The StoryWalk is located along the Rail Trail near the dog park through Jan. 4.
The library is also gifting holiday grab-and-go activity packets on Dec. 19. They will have Shrinky Dinks for tweens and teens and plastic canvas snowmen for adults 19 or older.
