COLUMBUS-LOWNDES PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM TO HOST STORYWALK® AT COLUMBUS AREA PARKS The StoryWalks® will be hosted at Propst Park, the Columbus Soccer Complex, and the Ola J. Pickett Park. The Columbus-Lowndes Public Library System (CLPLS) will host its first StoryWalk® as part of its 2020 Summer Library Program. The StoryWalk® will be free and held at Propst Park, the Columbus Soccer Complex, and the Ola J. Pickett Park from Saturday, June 13 until the following Friday, June 19. “When we realized our summer library program would look differently this year, we knew we needed to find things that would appeal to all ages and tie in with our Beanstack virtual challenge, and that’s where the StoryWalk® came in,” said Tori Hopper, children’s services and programming coordinator at CLPLS. “We had our eye on a potential StoryWalk® for a while, and this summer became the perfect storm of circumstances to finally host one. When we received permission from all of the parks, who were happy to work with us, everything just fell into place.” Another StoryWalk® will be held from July 11 through July 19 with a different story. During the week in which the stories are to appear at the area parks, they will be available and open to the public whenever the parks themselves are open. CLPLS will provide a StoryWalk® path to follow for each park, but the story itself will remain the same regardless of location. Those interested in attending will simply follow the path to read the story. Chanda Williams, the Columbus Recreation Department Neighborhood Parks Coordinator, said the StoryWalk® is a great way to get outside during the summer. “The Columbus Recreation Department believes that the StoryWalk® will be an excellent opportunity for families to get out of the house and engage in a safe positive activity in the park[s],” Williams said. “With the uncertainty of COVID-19, this is an excellent way to enjoy stories and the park. We are very excited about this opportunity to partner with the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library.” If participants have registered for their summer reading challenge with CLPLS through Beanstack or through paper alternatives, they can also check off their “Attend a StoryWalk®” activity badge or Bingo square after walking through the story. The story for June will be “Sheep Take A Hike” by Nancy Shaw, illustrated by Margot Apple. The first StoryWalk® was created by a Vermont librarian who laminated pages from a children’s book, attached the pages to wooden stakes, and installed them beside an outdoor path. Those interested in learning more about the StoryWalk® with the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library System, please contact Tori Hopper at thopper@lowndes.lib.ms.us or at 662-329.5300.
