December Downtown Florence StoryWalk: Jan Brett's Cozy
A winter StoryWalk is happening in downtown Florence!
Our first StoryWalk was so much fun this fall we couldn't wait to do it again. We'll be getting cozy with Jan Brett's new book, Cozy. So grab your hot cocoa, pop on a mask, and come and get cozy!
Organized and hosted by new business The Community Classroom Hosted by Tailored Learning Supports (For Families), the StoryWalk will be posted from December 4th-January 4th outside 24 Florence businesses. Maps will be available electronically and outside The Community Classroom (at 29 N. Maple Street )and outside High Five Books at their new location. Families will not only enjoy a charming story about fuzzy animals finding an unusual new home to survive Alaska's long winter (while learning to get along), but they will learn about several Arctic unusual animals on this 1.5 mile walk.
Sponsors include: Finck and Perras Insurance, Coopers Corner, Rick Kristek Tax, Corliss Law, High Five Books and Art Always, Collective Copies, Florence Paint and Decorating Center, Full Circle Bike Shop, and Macaroni Kid.

StoryWalk® in Downtown Florence (October 1-15, 2020)
Our education elves have something up their sleeves!
Starting on October 1, we're hosting a StoryWalk in downtown Florence! Find more information on the StoryWalk Facebook event page (and please share it on your Facebook page!).
Families will be able to scoop up a map, pop on their masks, and cruise around Florence to 20 different businesses to read A Big Mooncake for Little Star by local author/illustrator Grace Lin. Exercise, great literature, social distancing fun, AND waving at local business owners through their windows!
I hope you'll join us. Maps are available outside The Community Classroom and outside High Five Books. There will be a Raffle Chart on the back of the map for kids to fill out, and those who check off every business on the chart can enter into a raffle for a bookplate signed by Caldecott and Newberry award-winning author Grace Lin! You can access the Raffle Map here as well.
The author will also be hosting a live virtual bedtime read aloud of the book on the Tailored Learning Supports (For Families) Facebook page on October 15th at 6 pm EST, and there will be a raffle for 15 signed bookplates. Register for the read aloud here.
We'll also have coordinating activities and discussion questions for families outside The Community Classroom (29 N. Maple St).
What a fun way to celebrate The Mid-Autumn Festival, get out and support local business owners in a safe and socially-distanced way, and embrace the arrival of fall.
The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Storywalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.
