Fargo Public Library received a $4,263.40 match grant to partially fund their project: StoryWalk. The project features a picture book, displayed page by page onto weather-resistant signposts, spaced out to encourage movement, enjoyment of the outdoors and literacy skills. The featured book may be changed out seasonally or biannually to reflect relevant content. The project serves all ages but is targeted to children and families and was installed at Brunsdale Park along the paved Milwaukee Trail, which is close to homes and apartments to ensure accessibility. With COVID-19 concerns, the Fargo Public Library felt that 2020 was an opportune time to move forward in with this project as it lends itself naturally to social distancing.
