Step into a world of imagination during Storybook Stroll, where young readers and their families can celebrate the joy of storytelling in a fun, interactive environment. In partnership with the Obion River Regional Libraries, this event transforms Dinosaur Hall into a vibrant hub of literacy-focused activities designed to spark curiosity and creativity. 

Guests will explore booths hosted by libraries from across Northwest Tennessee, each offering hands-on activities that encourage children to engage with stories in new and exciting ways. This year’s theme, “Unearth a Story,” invites participants to dig into the world of books through imaginative play, interactive storytelling and connections with local library resources. 

You will discover: 

• Interactive literacy activities inspired by the “Unearth a Story” theme
• Opportunities to connect with local libraries and their programs
• Creative ways to spark a love of reading in young learners
• Resources and support for continued learning through summer reading programs
