Together in Teaneck is a StoryWalk at Sagamore Park developed by Teaneck Public Library.
The StoryWalk consists of 20 aluminum display posts with a 17” x 23” angled, black aluminum display area. Each display area contains one or two pages of a picture book behind a plexiglass surface on the theme of diversity and inclusion.
Children and families are encouraged to read the stories by walking through the park and stopping at each display sign. Librarians from Teaneck Public Library will select new stories on the theme of diversity and inclusion and rotate the stories on a regular basis.
The goal of this project is to celebrate diversity and inclusiveness in Teaneck, promoting literacy and a love of reading to children and families, and further encourage the exploration of Teaneck’s wonderful public parks.
Together in Teaneck is made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this StoryWalk do not necessarily
represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities or the New Jersey Council for the Humanities.
This project is also made possible by a district grant from Rotary International through the Teaneck Rotary Club.
Thank you to the Township of Teaneck Recreation Department and Public Works Department for their support of this project.
The StoryWalk™ Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition (VBPC) and the Kellogg Hubbard Library.
