The Monticello Branch Library, together with Southeast Arkansas Regional Library, is proud to announce the official opening of the permanent StoryWalk® Trail along our library’s walking path. ✂️ Join us for a ribbon cutting on Tuesday, September 2nd at 11:30 AM!
The StoryWalk® first began at our library in April 2020, created as a way to help families safely get outdoors and enjoy reading together during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each month since then, families have been able to stroll the path and enjoy a new story page by page — combining movement, nature, and the joy of books. 🌿📖
Now, thanks to a “Libraries Transforming Communities” grant from the American Library Association, support from the Friends of the Monticello Library, and local community sponsors, this much-loved project has been transformed into a permanent, ADA-compliant installation — making it accessible for everyone to enjoy for years to come. 💙
Bring your family, join the celebration, and be part of the story with us!
