The Only Waterproof StoryWalk© Sign: Our Read & Walk™ Display Panel
If you’ve ever organized a StoryWalk© program, you know the joy it brings to families and communities—and the headaches that can come with maintaining the displays. From laminating pages to battling foggy panels, the traditional StoryWalk© setup takes time and effort to manage.
What if there was a better way?
Meet the Read & Walk™ Display Panel—the only fully waterproof StoryWalk© sign system on the market. Designed by literacy professionals who understand the needs of libraries, nature centers, botanical gardens, and community organizations, our Read & Walk™ signs are a game-changer for outdoor literacy programming.
What Is a StoryWalk©?
A StoryWalk© is an innovative way to combine early literacy, physical activity, and outdoor engagement. It involves placing pages from a children’s book along a walking path, trail, or garden—encouraging families to move, read, and learn together.
StoryWalk© is a registered trademark of Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT, developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
The Problem with Traditional StoryWalk© Signs
Most traditional StoryWalk© signs require:
Laminated pages (time-consuming, not eco-friendly)
Manual installation that takes several minutes per sign
Plastic panels that fog, yellow, or break down from UV exposure
High maintenance to stay weatherproof over time
If you've hosted even one outdoor literacy event, you know how frustrating and costly these issues can be.
