A StoryWalk® combines two healthy activities, taking a walk and reading a book. It is a self-directed activity for people of all ages which encourages participants to read a children’s picture book in stages while walking along a short path. Participants are encouraged to complete a simple activity at each page. StoryWalks® promote literacy, physical activity, parental involvement, and ties to the community. Lititz Public Library installed our first StoryWalk® in July of 2020 and has continued them ever since, even branching out to include the Downtown version during the 2020 Winter Holiday season.
The Lititz Public Library’s Fall StoryWalk® title is Dog’s Colorful Day by Emma Dodd. Spend the day with Dog who runs, rolls, and trots right into colors. Dog makes learning colors and numbers easy, messy, and fun!
The StoryWalk® begins to the right of the entrance to the Lititz Public Library and moves counterclockwise around the library.
Fun Fact – Our storywalk is 1267 feet or .24 miles long!
