We are ecstatic to announce the unveiling of our second StoryWalk® in partnership with Prospect Heights School District 23!

Years in the making, the path between Eisenhower Elementary and the Prospect Heights Public Library was a dream of Youth Services staff member Julie Rodrian (adoringly known as Mrs. Julie by young readers and parents). This new path and StoryWalk® increases accessibility for students and families traveling between the school and library, all while encouraging life-long literacy, an appreciation for the outdoors, and remaining physically active!

Our first Storywalk® located on the east side of the library along Lions Park opened to the public in 2013. It has been a successful collaboration between the PHNRC, the Park District, Commonwealth Edison, Boy Scout Troop 468, and countless volunteers.

Read a new story as you walk along each path! Updated seasonally (fall, winter, spring, and summer), we hope that you and your family will come back to check out what’s new!
