What is a StoryWalk®?
A StoryWalk is a fun, educational experience for children – and adults – to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. Take a walk along the trail and read and interact with the book as you go!
The Lincoln Field StoryWalk® is made possible thanks to a collaboration between the Cary Library, Lexington Recreation & Community Programs, the Department of Public Works, and with support from the Recreation and Lincoln Park Subcommittees. Funding for this project comes from donations to the Cary Library Foundation.
The Parker Meadow StoryWalk® is made possible thanks to a collaboration between Cary Library, the Town of Lexington Conservation Department and the Department of Public Works. The Parker Meadow StoryWalk® was made possible by a gift from Enterprise Bank.
The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. StoryWalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson. StoryWalks® have been installed in all 50 states and at least 13 countries.

Jabari Jumps by Gaia Cornwall
Jabari is definitely ready to jump off the diving board. He's finished his swimming lessons and passed his swim test, and he's a great jumper, so he's not scared at all. A sweetly appealing tale of overcoming your fears.

Acorn Was A Little Wild by Jen Arena
Acorn is the first one off the tree, longing for adventure and new experiences (though maybe not being eaten), but when a squirrel buries Acorn he is forced to stay still in the dark until the exciting changes begin, and he grows into a mighty oak--though at heart he is still a little wild.
