1) What company did your library use for the storywalk signs? Pannier

2) How have the materials stood up through weather and overall use? Standing up well, although moisture does occasionally seep under the plexiglass. We mitigate it by laminating the pages.

3) How difficult is it to switch out stories throughout the year? Not hard - two screws, but a little awkward. It helps to have two people.

4) Is there one thing you wish you could change about your storywalk? Perhaps to have the top frame that holds the plexiglass in place on hinges instead of having to lift it off completely when changing stories.

Good morning,

My library is researching the possibility of adding a story walk at our library, and were hoping we could get some feedback from other libraries who already have story walks.

If you have the time, could you answer these questions for me please?

Thank you so much for your help!
