The Story Walk is back in Downtown Kensington

After spending a few weeks at Capital View - Homewood Park in Capital View, the Story Walk is back at Clum-Kennedy Park, just next to downtown Kensington. The 5th Story Walk has been up since Saturday, May 15. It will remain at Clum-Kennedy until June 6. As the Library Foundation says, "StoryWalk® is an innovative way for children and families to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time."

What is the Story Walk?

The Noyes Children's Library Story Walk is an activity that you can do at a park. It stays at one park for a few weeks. The Story Walk consists of each separate page of a picture book being displayed on a sign along a path. Readers start at the beginning and walk along the path that the Story Walk is on. They read the signs with the pages as they walk. 

Cicadas Are Here, That's What This Book Is About

You have probably noticed that there are a lot of Cicadas now. That is because the 17 year cicadas, the Brood X Cicadas, are out now. Noyes Library's Story Walk reflects this current event.

Have you or are you planning to visit this Story Walk? What do you think of it being related to the Cicadas? Let us know in the comments below.
