StoryWalk in the Park
SPRING STORYWALK® : How to Say Hello to a Worm by Kari Percival
Get in the mood for Spring with this gentle exploration of gardening. Say hello to worms, ladybugs, and bees in English and Spanish as a group of toddlers plant peas and pick strawberries. If you’re inspired by the story to create your own garden, check out our Seed Library!
You can read and check out all of our past Storywalk books too.
SELF-GUIDED STORIES IN THE PARK
The Library has teamed up with Wilsonville Parks & Recreation to combine two of our favorite things: story sharing and outdoor exploring!
What is a StoryWalk®?
A StoryWalk® is a fun way to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. Laminated pages from an illustrated book are attached to signs, which are installed along a paved, outdoor path. As you make your way down the trail, you are directed to the next page in the story. Stories are changed out on a regular basis.
Where is the StoryWalk®?
StoryWalk® now a permanent feature at Tivoli Park, along a paved trail that is accessible to all. It begins at the intersection of SW Denmark St. and SW Coffee Lake Dr. in Villebois.
StoryWalk® Events
Storywalk with the Artist!
July 30th, 1:30 -2:30
Join us to welcome Kate Berube, children’s book author and illustrator of our Summer Storywalk “The Summer Nick Taught his Cats to Read.” Kate will read the book for us and answer your questions about Nick, his Cats, and how to create stories. Audience members are also encouraged to bring a book or something else they would like Kate to sign. The event will take place at the start of the Storywalk, which is located at the intersection of SW Denmark St. and SW Coffee Lake Dr. in Villebois.
“The Summer Nick Taught his Cats to Read” was a CLEL Bell Award winner, and her other titles have received honors such as the Marion Vannett Ridgway Award and the Oregon Book Award for Children's Literature. For more fun with Kate check out West Linn’s Storywalk, which Kate will also be visiting!
