Lincoln Memorial Hospital Community Health, U of I Extension to Host Storybook Walk

[August 01, 2023] 

Lincoln Memorial Hospital Community Health and the University of Illinois Extension are partnering to offer two free storybook walk events in Lincoln on July 29 and Aug. 9.

“The goal is to remind everyone how important daily physical activity is for maintaining health,” said Kayla Swaar, Extension SNAP-Ed educator. “The storybook walks will lead children and families around a path as they read one page at a time and will feature the popular children’s book, ‘Giraffes Can’t Dance.’”

Both storybook walks are free and open to the public. Participants can also make a drum craft and take home a free activity. Registration is not required. For more information, call 217-605-5014 or email [e-mail].

The LMH Market will host the first Storybook Walk on Saturday, July 29, from 8 a.m. to noon as part of the Moving at the Market program.

The second storybook walk will be held on the LMH Wellness Trail on Wednesday, Aug. 9, during the 9 a.m. and noon Trailblazer walking groups.
