During the regular Storytime with Rita Delgado hour, Miss Rita will introduce a winter StoryWalk® experience to expose young patrons and their families to Susan Cooper’s poem celebrating the winter solstice, “The Shortest Day.” The book’s beautiful illustrations by Caldecott honoree Carson Ellis will be displayed on marked posts in sequence around the front of the Library on Pine Street. The intention is to encourage some family discussions and appreciation of the transitioning of seasons.
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. StoryWalks® have been installed in all 50 states and at least 13 countries.
