Nature + Literature = Something Beautiful
The currently deployed book on the storywalk is Night Walk by Marie Dorleans.
Mama opened our bedroom door, interrupting the night-time darkness.
“Wake up, you two,” she whispered. “Let’s go, so we get there on time.”
In the middle of the night, two children are awakened by their parents to begin a special adventure. The family steps outside into a beautiful summer’s night. They walk from the sleeping village through the dark landscapes of the countryside, into a forest world of midnight blue.
But where are they going, and will they get there on time? I don’t want to spoil the ending, so I will neither confirm nor deny that the best time to take your kiddos on this storywalk would be about 10-15 minutes before sunrise…

Storywalk on the SNETT is a collaboration between the Simon Fairfield Public Library and the Department of Conservation and Recreation. The stations were constructed by Ethan Chisholm and Troop 316 of Douglas, MA.
The Storywalk is on an easy, stroller-friendly, graveled path with ample parking off of Depot Street (technically, 33 Railroad Ave). The first post is just to the west of the parking lot, and the walk is a little over 1,000 feet.
StoryWalk® was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and has developed with the help of Rachel Senechal, formerly of the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
