Welcome To StoryWalk!

The Lucius E. and Elsie C. Burch, Jr. Library and the Friends of the Collierville Burch Library launched the StoryWalk in December 2020 in Halle Park, the beautiful grounds surrounding the library.

The StoryWalk is a unique way to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. Signs around Halle Park display each page of the story as well as questions and movement activities to engage in conversation and promote physical activity. 

The story changes at the beginning of each season, with one special holiday story, The Polar Express, as a tradition for every Christmas season. 

Current Selection

Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett

From bestselling and award-winning author Mac Barnett and illustrator Jon Klassen comes Extra Yarn, a Caldecott Honor Book, Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winner, and a New York Times bestseller.

A young girl and her box of magical yarn transform a community in this stunning picture book. With spare, gently humorous illustrations and a palette that moves from black-and-white to a range of color, this modern fairy tale has the feel of a new classic.
