The Lititz Public Library’s fall StoryWalk title The Belonging Tree by Maryann Cocca-Leffler is a thoughtful picture book about respect, inclusion, and acceptance in a woodland community of animals.
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 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!
