Walk. Talk. Look.

Let’s read a book!

There are two main types of displays used:

Do It Yourself (DIY) displays, or
Permanent outdoor reading displays

DIY Displays

There are many options for inexpensive displays. Here are just a few of our favorites:

Tape it

Find a window or a wall and just tape the pages where children can read them.

Use Yard-signs

Pick up some yard signs at your local hardware store and use them to display your walk.

Hang it

Find a fence, a wire, or an art display board and hang it. See “Helpful Links” for more info on where to find clips.

Permanent Displays

A permanent display is a wonderful way to showcase a story. Here is an example from Pannier Graphics. Their durable aluminum frames make swapping out your stories simple and efficient. Just remove the top rail and clear acrylic panel, insert your laminated pages, and reassemble—it’s that easy! This straightforward design saves you valuable time, so you can focus on creating meaningful content.

Pannier Graphics

Pannier specializes in outdoor frames, offering them at affordable prices. You can buy 20 of their outdoor reading frames for under $6,000. That is enough frames to display most stories, which range between 16-20 frames. Additionally, some states offer grants to help fund your storybook walk, or you can raise funds within your community.

They also provides both standard and custom backer panels that can be added to the back of your frames. These panels are a great way to share information about your library or acknowledge the sponsors who helped bring your walk to life.
