A storywalk is where pages of a children's book are posted on large yard signs stationed around a trail. This is a fun and educational activity that pairs literacy with physical activity and encourages families to get outside.
We currently have storywalks in a few locations within the City of Kawartha Lakes.
If you'd like to check the book out from the library, click on the book title in the chart below. This will take you to the catalogue where you can place a hold.
An orange flag will mark the first sign of the story.
