Through August 23, 2024: Walk around Downtown Ridgefield and read “Once Upon a Book” by Grace Lin and Kate Messner, while also getting some exercise and visiting town. Pick up a handout at the Children’s Services Desk or download one here to participate and finish the puzzle to earn a rubber duckie! Use the map to visit all 21 stops in numerical order to read this year’s picturebook “Once Upon a Book” by Grace Lin and Kate Messner. Instead of turning the page, you will walk to the next stop! As you visit each location, read the story together, read and talk about the questions on each poster and solve the puzzle on the back. Enter your answer in your Beanstack account to earn your prize! 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.
June 21-August 23, 2024: Registration for the 2024 Summer Reading Program is now open!
