Main Street Story Walk for August ...

Robey Memorial Library, in collaboration with the Oneota Valley Literary Foundation (OVLF), invites families to enjoy the August Main Street Story Walk. This month’s featured book is the children’s story “If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, DON’T!” by Elise Parsley. Families are encouraged to stroll through downtown Waukon as the story unfolds in the windows of six participating local businesses.

The Story Walk spans six businesses along Allamakee Street, East Main Street, and Spring Avenue in Waukon. Each stop features a portion of the story, guiding readers from one location to the next for an interactive reading adventure for all ages. Participating businesses are labeled and named in the above map and include 1) Upper Iowa Insurance; 2) Steel Cow; 3) Impro; 4) Driftless Edit; 5) Luna Salon; and 6) Paws Up Pet Supplies.

After completing the Story Walk, stop by Robey Memorial Library in Waukon. Readers can show a photo of their family enjoying the Story Walk or share the secret code word to receive a free book to celebrate their adventure and add a new reading treasure to their home library. Whether participants are Waukon residents or just visiting the community, the Main Street Story Walk is a way to enjoy the summer season and experience the joy of reading together. Submitted image.
