Storywalk is a new program that provides reading opportunities along the Riverwalk in Milford. The program aims to encourage literacy and community engagement by installing laminated pages of a children’s book along the pathway for families to enjoy as they walk or jog. This initiative was made possible through a collaboration between the Milford Community Center and the Milford Public Library.
The launch event for Storywalk was held on Saturday, where families came together to experience the first book on display, “The Snail and the Whale” by Julia Donaldson. Participants were excited to engage in the interactive reading experience while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Riverwalk.
Attendees of the event were pleased with the addition of Storywalk to the Riverwalk, as it provides a fun and educational activity for families to enjoy together. The program not only promotes literacy but also encourages physical activity and outdoor recreation in the community.
The installation of Storywalk is just the beginning of a series of books that will be featured along the Riverwalk. The goal is to rotate the books regularly to keep the content fresh and engaging for visitors. This initiative is part of the ongoing efforts to make the Riverwalk a more vibrant and inclusive space for all members of the community.
Overall, Storywalk has been well-received by residents of Milford, who appreciate the opportunity to combine their love of reading with their enjoyment of the outdoors. The program is expected to continue making a positive impact on the community by promoting literacy and bringing families together in a unique and interactive way.
