Welcome!
A StoryWalk is an outdoor reading experience that encourages children and families to read and move. At its core, this program is about kids, reading, getting outside, and connecting with family.
Eccles-Lesher Memorial Library has partnered with Redbank Valley Trail Association to bring you our Story Book Trail for the fourth year. Our permanent installation has us moving from the Sligo Spur of the Redbank Valley Trail just off State Rt. 861 in Madison Township.
The best part of our StoryWalk® is how it brings together community partners to make something wonderful happen. It’s really exciting for all of us.

Current Trail Book
The Eccles-Lesher Memorial Library’s 2025 fall/winter StoryWalk® title is The Very Last Leaf by Stef Wade.
Lance Cottonwood is the best and brightest of the leaves, but even the top students on the tree have worries. Can Lance conquer his fear of falling and just let go when the time comes for his final exam, or will he let his worries take over? In this funny and encouraging picture book, best-selling author Stef Wade (A Place for Pluto) tells an engaging story and deftly addresses social and emotional struggles many kids encounter each day…feeling anxious, wanting to be perfect, facing fears, etc. These themes combined with illustrator Jennifer Davison’s delightful characters and rich autumnal colors make The Very Last Leaf a perfect book for the start of a new school year, the arrival of autumn, or any period of transition in life.
