Program Overview

StoryWalk is an outdoor experience for families to engage in reading a book together by going from station to station with STEM activities relating to the book in between each station. We are writing our own books about the area and they will be in English and Spanish on each station to reach all families in the community. The goal is to have 8 books to rotate through a 3 year period. This is a joint partnership with The Albert Carlton Cashiers Library, the Literacy Council of Cashiers, and the Village Green and Visions Cashiers/Pathways & Preservation Task Force to create this StoryWalk.

Cost Info

Startup costs are budgeted at $10,000 for creating the stations to hold each page of the books, printing costs in a large format, illustrating and writing the books, publicity costs to roll out the project to the community, upkeep of the stations in the Village Green, which is the local park/ gathering place for Cashiers. Yearly costs will drop to about $8,000 for maintainability and creation or purchase of new books.
