StoryWalks®
StoryWalks® are a series of permanent signs designed to connect reading and learning with physical activity. A self-paced, family-friendly activity, the signs are spread out to encourage residents of all ages to read, move and enjoy the outdoors.
The original StoryWalk® project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vt., and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library to promote literacy.
Fargo currently has two StoryWalks® that feature books which change every few months. These StoryWalks® are a free activity available during regular park hours.
