Please come read our bilingual story on the pathway at Johnny Kelley Park.
Ven a leer nuestra historia bilingüe en el Parque Johnny Kelley.
The Dennis Libraries are joining together to present a StoryWalk® for April school vacation. Starting on Saturday, April 17th, head over to Johnny Kelley Park to read our bilingual story (in both English and Spanish.) Its title is Waiting for the Biblioburro, written by Monica Brown, illustrated by John Parra, and translated by Adriana Domiquez. The book is based on real life librarian Luis Soriano Bohórquez, who is eagerly awaited by children in the rural areas of Columbia. He loads his two burros with books and travels around the country to spread literacy and culture. The StoryWalk® begins across from the playground. Follow the story panels along to the right, where they are affixed to the posts for the park’s Braille Trail. We hope readers of all ages enjoy the book.
This program is offered in partnership with the Ezra H. Baker Innovation School, an institution also dedicated to increasing literacy and sharing cultures. Funding was provided by The Educational Foundation for Dennis and Yarmouth, Inc. The StoryWalk® concept was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT, and developed with the help of Rachel Senechal of the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.

Presented by Sarah Korgoff of the Cape Cod Commission and the Dennis Conservation Land Trust
On occasion land trusts encounter land projects that include historic buildings, which raise questions about whether to pursue the project, and, if so, what to do with the buildings. Historic buildings can be costly in terms of repairs, upkeep, and liability. At this talk, participants will learn why it is important to consider saving these historic buildings; how to approach building rescue projects; and where the Cape's historic buildings are. They will also learn about successful examples of preservation and conservation; tools and assistance; and things to remember when projects come to land trusts' attention. Enjoy this unique perspective on some historic places of Cape Cod.
