StoryWalk

The Greenville County Library System’s Youth Services Department is continuously exploring new and unique ways to reach the community. The creation of a StoryWalk ® in Greenville provides the opportunity for families to spend time together outdoors and create lasting memories while discovering a new book!

StoryWalk® gives both residents and visitors the opportunity to discover a new story and explore downtown Greenville. Young readers and their families can explore a new story by following the brightly colored book spreads in the windows of the 16 businesses that collaborated with the Library. Build early literacy skills as you read, walk, and explore a picture book together!

StoryWalk ® was originally created by Anne Ferguson and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier, Vermont to promote literacy development and a love of reading and books in young children in an outdoor environment.

Library patron Shaye Messenger recently did the StoryWalk ® with her family. She says, “We loved looking for the next page in the book in some of our favorite store windows. O.P. Taylor’s is always a treat to go into, so we loved the opportunity to visit some downtown stores along the way.”

Messenger says, “StoryWalk ® is a unique way to experience downtown Greenville with kids. Your kids will love looking for the book pages in the windows.”

Every few months the book will be changed to something new so you and your family can visit StoryWalk ® again and again!
