Visit Our Award-Winning StoryWalks!

StoryWalk is a fun, educational activity that places a children’s storybook along a popular walking route in the community. Different books are displayed throughout the year to keep the StoryWalk experience fresh and promote future learning.

In 2021, the City of Boca Raton's Public Library was selected as the winner of the City Spirit Award in the Florida Municipal Achievement Awards from the Florida League of Cities for the StoryWalk program. The City Spirit Award recognizes a single, specific citywide effort to successfully address a local need. For more information about the award, read the Florida League of Cities press release.

The national StoryWalk Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vermont, and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.

Serenoa Glade Preserve

Visit the StoryWalk at the Serenoa Glade Preserve at George Snow Park in Boca Raton from April 1 through May 31, 2022, to enjoy the book, Wee Little Bunny, by Lauren Thompson. Wee Little Bunny just can't sit still. It's not that he doesn't want to hear the tortoise's story or play with the fox, but he can't seem to stay in one place long before he has to hop, hop, hop off and play. The only person who can get him to calm down is his mama, and when she does, he gets to tell her all about his busy day! Follow up your visit with some fun at the adjoining playground!
