Enjoy a story while exploring the outdoors at the Helen Kate Furness Free Library’s StoryWalk®!

Our StoryWalk® begins at the Monarch Waystation garden and continues along the front sidewalk of the library. Follow the path to discover pages from a children’s book displayed along the way, inviting children and families to read, move, and enjoy the natural world around them.
