Every year, The Community Library collaborates with the Blaine County Recreation District (BCRD) and the Hailey Public Library to bring StoryWalk® to the Wood River Trail. This unique activity merges the joy of reading with the beauty of the outdoors, providing a delightful experience for families and individuals alike.
The 2024 StoryWalk® in Ketchum featured Just One Flake by Travis Jonker and could be viewed between 6th Street and Wood River Drive. Each page was presented in both English and Spanish, offering an inclusive reading experience.
While the 2024 StoryWalk® wrapped up on February 22, we have this wonderful note from Morgan Buckert, Director of Development and Communications for the BCRD:
For the first time, our StoryWalk® made it through the week without being ripped apart by the weather! As I was picking it up last night, I ran into a bilingual after school program at Hemingway with K and 1st graders who were enjoying the book. I walked with them, pulled their wagon, let them play with my sled, and made a lot of new friends. It was fantastic, and exactly what I wanted to see from this project! Thank you!
