The Kearney Public Library is planning a winter StoryWalk® to be held in conjunction with the Downtown Christmas Walk on Thursday, November 29, from 5:000 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
A StoryWalk® consists of pages from a book posted at stations along a route. This event promotes physical activity and literacy among children as well as adults. For the winter StoryWalk®, pages of a book will be posted in participating stores around the Downtown area, giving families the opportunity to enjoy reading a story as they walk and shop. Participating stores will have a StoryWalk® sign displayed in their window. The first pages of the StoryWalk® will be displayed in Annie Kay & Company located at 2412 Central Avenue.
The Library is also offering children the opportunity to read to registered therapy animals and create a small craft.
