Earlier this fall, these Wooden boxes with clear covers were installed at Latham Park in Lincoln by the Logan County Board. Some may have wondered what that was all about.

 

Well now, the whole story is clear, the story book that is. The County Board and the Lincoln Public Library are teaming up to bring an interactive activity to the park that involves walking and reading.

Currently the story line that unfolds as visitors traverse the sidewalks in the park are from the book “How to Catch a Reindeer.”

 

 

 

 

Called a “Story Walk” the concept was first introduced by Anne Furgeson of Montpelier Vermont who partnered with the Kellog-Hubbard Library in that community. The idea has spread around the country with good reception from park goers.

The Logan County Board and the local library will continue the practice of story walks with the books changing from time to time so that those who visit the first time, will have something new to look forward to in a few weeks.
