Carnegie-Stout Public Library worked with the C-SPL Foundation and the City of Dubuque to bring a StoryWalk® to the downtown community. A StoryWalk® is an outdoor reading experience that displays pages of a picture book along a path or trail.
The downtown StoryWalk® is located at the Bee Branch Creek Greenway. It begins by the East 22nd Street bus stop and continues along the Upper Bee Branch Trail.
Carnegie-Stout Public Library also partnered with the Dubuque Arboretum & Botanical Gardens to create a second StoryWalk® location. This outdoor reading experience is along the Legacy Tree Trail at the Arboretum.
Both locations will feature a new story each month from March to November. The goal is to share stories that inspire learning, joy, and hope while encouraging activity in an outdoor setting for people of all ages to enjoy. Come move your body and exercise your mind!
