StoryWalk®

Great news, we have another StoryWalk® up! Head along to Taradale Park with your friends and whānau by reading some enjoyable Aotearoa stories. Stories will stay up for approximately two weeks.

StoryWalk® is an innovative way for tamariki, whānau and friends to read, get active and take in the beauty of Taradale all at the same time. 

How does it work? 
It's simple! Go along to Taradale Park and follow the arrows to read the featured books. When you finish a book, you can scan the QR code to enter into our prize draw and share your StoryWalk® experience.

You can also pop into either of our branches to collect a free copy of Te Reo Māori Activity Booklet for more fun!

About StoryWalk®

The StoryWalk® project was created in 2007 by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT, and subsequently developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.  Ferguson wanted to create something different, fun and interesting to promote early literacy, physical activity, and family time together in nature. It has since been adopted in all 50 states of America and a further 12 countries around the world. StoryWalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms.Ferguson.
