This Saturday, June 6 at a very special ribbon cutting will be held at 10:00 A.M. in Culver’s Town Park to mark the grand opening of Culver’s own StoryWalk®, which is one of events they have planned to celebrate their Carnegie Library’s Centennial birthday party!
A StoryWalk® is an innovative and captivating way for children and adults to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time, thus promoting both family literacy and outdoor exercise. Culver-Union Township Public Library and the Culver Park Board have partnered to bring a StoryWalk® consists of 18 stations to the community Park. Each post houses a different laminated page from a children’s storybook. As families walk along the route, they can read the book together.
The first book featured by the Culver Library is “The Ice Cream Hotel”, by local author Jack Johnston. The StoryWalk® books in the Park will change every 2 weeks starting in June and will be available through September, so be sure to come back to read the next story and get outdoors!!!
Starting at 10:30 at the Park, Stevens Puppets presents… Beauty and the Beast a touching and humorous marionette play full of chuckles and drama. Artistic staging and clever effects accented with beautiful harp music bring this ever popular classic triumphantly to life.
Immediately following the puppet show will be games and prizes for all ages at the Culver Park! They will have the Bozo Game and Egg Walk, Sack Races, Hula Hoop Contest and Face Painting.
Finish with decorating your bicycle and parading back to the Library for lunch, cake, and a more festivities.
