Walking through a Storybook

Stuff We Love

July 22, 2023

This summer, the Bellaire Public Library and the Antrim Conservation District have teamed up to create a StoryWalk© experience along the Cedar River Trail. The StoryWalk© Project began in Vermont as “an innovative and delightful way for children—and adults!—to enjoy reading and the outdoors,” and now it’s made its way to northern Michigan! The pages of a selected book are laminated and placed along the path so kids and families can read along as they explore outside. (The Cedar River Trail is an accessible trail that is mainly flat and runs about 0.3 miles, making it ideal for all ages and abilities.) The book for the month of July is Mud by Anne Bailey and Jen Corace, and August’s book will be coming soon! Bellaire Public Library plans to display a new book each month of the year to get folks outside in sun and snow. Learn more about the project by heading to bellairelibrary.org.
