Story Walk

Storywalk
This project has been funded by the New York State Department of Health through the Creating Healthy Schools and Communities Grant. The Rockland County Department of Health, the Village of Haverstraw, and the Haverstraw King’s Daughters Public Library all collaborated on creating the StoryWalk®.
The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier Vermont. Storywalk® is a registered service mark owned by the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
