[aisle] using books in story walks

[Karrie Fisher]

I partnered with the Northbrook Public Library to do several book walks.
They installed them in a part of our property where the kids literally
walked around in a circle to read the books.  Teachers loved it as a chance
to get the kids up and moving in a productive way.  Everyone seemed to like
the idea.  I'm not sure the books were as engaging as they could be, but
the concept is fun.

Weather considerations: One of our poster slides (not sure that's what they
are called) flew away on a windy day.  NBPL came over and replaced it right
away.

I love this idea!
