<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Last summer the Novi Public Library did a modified version of a Story Walk on our patio (story on the patio). Each week for six weeks a different story was
placed outside in the raised bed along the patio. I laminated the pages of each book so that the story could be read walking both ways along the path. I stapled the laminated sheets to simple wire lawn signs.

enough, however. Story Walk frames are available to purchase but are pricey.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
