StoryWalk®

The Library's StoryWalk® at Al Lease Park in Kent was created in partnership with Kent Parks and Recreation and made possible by a generous gift from Friends of Kent Free Library. 

The StoryWalk® begins near the playground and follows the path around the lake. It's a wonderful way to combine literacy with physical activity, placing book pages at regular intervals along a walking path, encouraging visitors to walk (or run, or skip, or hop) as they read the book and enjoy the pictures. These stories, chosen by our librarians, feature books that are fun to read aloud and have colorful illustrations. 

Each season there is a new story to enjoy so stop by regularly. The current book will be on display from September 1 - the end of November 2026.

Current Book:

The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vermont, and developed in collaboration with the Kellog-Hubbard Library. StoryWalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.
