December 28, 2013 by The Catskill Chronicle
LIBERTY, NY (December 28, 2013) – The StoryWalk® Project is an 
innovative way for children and families to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. Preschoolers and children up to 9 years of age can enjoy a winter StoryWalk® at 4 pm on Thursday, January 23, 2014 along the Turtle Spring Nature Trail at Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) Sullivan County’s Gerald J. Skoda Extension Education Center on 64 Ferndale-Loomis Road in Liberty.
The highlighted story will be “Tracks in the Snow” by Wong Herbert Yee.
After the walk, participants are invited to warm up indoors while exploring and learning about wildlife tracks through some take-home crafts.
Liberty Public Library (LPL) and CCE Sullivan County are collaborating to offer this free opportunity. Interested families should pre-register for this free event by calling CCE at 845-292-6180 or LPL at 845-292-6070.
This project combines the benefits of physical activity, time outdoors in nature, literacy, and family time. Laminated pages from a children’s book are installed along an outdoor path. As you stroll down the trail, you’re directed to the next page in the story.
This StoryWalk® will be in place throughout the winter months but families are encouraged to attend this opening day.
Created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT, The StoryWalk® Project was developed in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition and the Kellogg Hubbard Library.
