On July 8, we celebrated the ribbon-cutting of our new StoryWalk at Wilson Park!
This exciting project brings together literacy, outdoor exploration, and family fun, creating a new way for children and families to enjoy reading while exploring our community.
A heartfelt thank you to the Rhode Island Foundation for making this project possible through its generous Community Grant Program. Special thanks to Chelsey Dumas-Gibbs, Recreation Director, for collaborating on this initiative, and to David Creta, Field Maintenance Supervisor, and his team for installing the StoryWalk displays.
We are also grateful to Town Manager Ralph Mollis, the Library Board of Trustees, and Miss Sofia, our Children's Librarian, whose support and enthusiasm helped bring this vision to life.
Our newest StoryWalk book is now on display! Come enjoy The Escape Artist: A True Story of Octopus Adventure by Thor Hanson, illustrated by Galia Bernstein, as you stroll along the path leading to the spiral at Wilson Park.
We will be rotating the stories regularly, so check back often!
