The StoryWalk project combines the benefits of physical activity, time outdoors, literacy, and family time.  The concept for the project was developed by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vermont. 

Groton’s StoryWalk will be available for viewing through the end of February.  For more information, please call Groton Parks and Recreation at 860-536-5680 or the Groton Public Library at 860-441-6750.
