The Breckinridge County Public Library will be hosting a ribbon cutting for the new story walk at the Hardinsburg Main Library (308 Old State Road 60, Hardinsburg) this Friday.
“It’s on our walking trail that we’ve had for a few months now, and what a story walk is is boards that have where you can put out a picture book, and the kids and their parents can walk around to the different boards and read a story,” said BCPL Director Sarah Flood.
The story walk was purchased for the library by the Breckinridge County Health Department through a Maternal Child Health program grant.
“It is encouraging both pregnant moms and those who have just had kids to be a little more active, so the goal is to get them out reading but also to kind of go around the little stations,” Flood said.
The library will have refreshments available and activity stations set up along the story walk. Festivities begin at 11 a.m. Central.
“Our children’s person, she’s going to do story time beforehand, and then when preschool story time’s over, we’re going to go out to the story walk and walk around it,” Flood said.
