Enjoy the outdoors with a self-guided StoryWalk® book posted along the walking path at several locations all across Evanston.

In honor of National StoryWalk® Week (November 15-19), The Evanston Public Library has placed several fun, exciting stories along the paths of several locations throughout Evanston.

StoryWalk® is an engaging, outdoor reading activity that serves to promote physical activity and literacy for both adults and children! As you stroll down the path, you will come across a new page of the story. 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.

We invite you to visit each location and discover all the different stories that we have chosen to celebrate diversity, reading and nature.

StoryWalk® books and locations:

  • Robert Crown Library Branch (1801 Main St) - La Gallinita Roja (Spanish Edition of The Little Red Hen)
  • Levy Senior Center - 300 Dodge Ave - The Library Book by Michael Mark and Tom Chapin
  • The Ecology Center -2024 N McCormick Blvd - The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry and The Big Hungry Bear by Don and Audrey Wood
  • Penny Park - 1500 Lake St - Princess Hair by Sharee Miller

If you've visited one of our StoryWalk® locations, make sure you fill out our survey!
