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.

Little Blue Cottage by Kelly Jordan

The little blue cottage waits each year for summer to arrive―and with it, the girl. Through sunny days and stormy weather, the cottage and the girl keep each other company and wile away the long days and nights together. Until one year, and then another, the cottage is left waiting and empty season after season.

In this heartfelt story about change, Kelly Jordan's lilting text and Jessica Courtney-Tickle's lush art captures the essence of cherishing a favorite place.
