The StoryWalk is located along the Beyer Farm Trail at Pike Lake.

It’s a perfect spot for families to take a leisurely stroll, enjoy a story, and create some memories along the way.

Stories are updated every couple of months, so be sure to visit with each new season.

You might be wondering, “What exactly is a StoryWalk?”

A StoryWalk is an innovative way for children and adults to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. Created in 2007 by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vermont, in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library, StoryWalks involve placing pages from a children’s book along a walking path, allowing families to read a story as they stroll. These installations have spread across the United States and internationally, bringing literacy, physical activity, and nature together. StoryWalks provide numerous benefits to communities: they encourage families to spend time outdoors, promote early literacy and a love for reading, support physical well-being, and foster a sense of community as people gather to enjoy the stories.

WCPL is deeply grateful to the sponsors who made the StoryWalk possible.

Our heartfelt thanks go to the Friends of the Library, whose continuous support allows us to bring enriching experiences like this to the community. We also want to recognize the Warsaw Parks & Recreation Department for their hard work in installing the StoryWalk and their ongoing commitment to enhancing our local parks. Special thanks as well to the Kiwanis Club of Warsaw and the Warsaw Noon Optimist Club, both of which have been instrumental in supporting initiatives that nurture learning and engagement. It is through the combined efforts of these organizations that we can offer such valuable resources to our community.
