Homer Township
Library is proud to share details of our newest community partnership. The
literacy + fitness program partners the library with the Homer Glen Foundation
and Homer Township to develop our very own StoryWalk™ in Homer Glen. StoryWalk™
combines the healthy activities of walking and being outdoors while reading a
book. StoryWalk™ features poster-sized laminated storybook pages that are
placed every 100 feet along the Sendra Park path.
Libby and Barry were created
as our two library mascots who depict activities on each storybook page.
Reading and suggested activities at each station offer residents a unique
family experience as they walk, read, and can enjoy fun movements that tie into
the stories. We envision offering seasonal activities and will undertake
quarterly book changes. The Ribbon Cutting Celebration for this event was held
on July 31st at the Edmond J. Sendra Park, 14727 South Greenbrier Lane, in Homer
Glen. A Splendid Friend Indeed by Suzanne Bloom is the book being currently
featured.
