Get moving while you read at the Terrebonne Parish Library’s story walk
At Courthouse Square in Houma, readers can read a book about sharing, page by page and step by step.
The Terrebonne Parish Public Library will be putting up signs featuring pages from the book The Mouse’s Apples by Francis Strickley on Tuesday, July 9. Each sign will feature a page from the book so readers can get some exercise while reading. There will be 15 to 20 signs in total, and on July 12 at 3 p.m., Emily Daigle, Outreach Coordinator for the Terrebonne Parish Public Library, will be offering a guided story walk for all visitors.
“I just think it’s great that people are getting outside,” she said. “My job is to bring the library into the community, so instead of coming to the library for story time, I thought it would just be great to get people outside in the sunshine so they can get some exercise and read the book and have a story time.”
The story is about a mouse looking for apples for tea, and then a hungry bear shows up wanting the apples for himself. Daigle said the story ends with a lesson on sharing. The tour, she said, will last about 20 minutes because there will be singing along during the story.

The signs will remain outside throughout July, and Daigle said the library will repeat the program every two or three months.
