CANTON â Take a walk on the Remington Trail this month and youâll find a story.
This week, three rabbits sneak into Mr. McGreelyâs garden and munch on his vegetables. Next week, Brian will imagine a bedroom transformation so a salamander might feel at home.
The stories â in the form of illustrated childrenâs books featured page by page on wooden stakes â are part of the Canton Free Libraryâs summer programming.
âI love the concept,â Valerie White said. âThis combines books and getting outside, two of my favorite things.â
As the libraryâs youth services specialist, Ms. White curated the monthlong StoryWalk along a portion of the 3.2-mile Remington Trail, also called the Partridge Loop around Partridge Run Golf Course.
Storybook Trail opens in Brookville park Micah Karr
A Storybook Trail that helps teach children about the importance of reading, a healthy lifestyle and connecting with nature is open at Sycamore State Park in Brookville.
Ohio first lady Fran DeWine and Ohio Department of Natural Resources Director Mary Mertz attended a Monday morning ribbon-cutting ceremony at the park. The ODNR partnered with the Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to provide story content for the trails.
“There is nothing better than fresh air and a good book, and Ohio’s Storybook Trails offer both,” DeWine said in a statement. “A focus on early literacy can make a world of difference in a child’s life, and the books featured on these trails were handpicked by the Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library for their easy-to-understand, positive narratives.”
