How it works
Three steps to a finished StoryWalk.
A simple process designed for the small teams that usually run parks, libraries, and schools.
Determine how many panels you need
A typical children’s picture book uses 15–20 panels — one spread per station. Shorter poems or interpretive stories may only need 8–12. We’ll help you map the story to your site so the pacing feels right between stations.
- Count the page spreads in the book or story you want to feature.
- Walk your route and note natural stopping points — benches, bends in the trail, shade.
- Not sure yet? Send us a rough site sketch and we’ll suggest a layout.
Request a quote
Our system makes it easy to get a quote fast. Tell us the panel count, your preferred mounting style, and a few site photos. We’ll send pricing — and a mounting recommendation — within a few business days.
- Pick a mounting system (or let us recommend one based on your site).
- Add optional extras: title panels, sponsor plaques, or weather-resistant book pockets.
- Quotes include hardware, printed panels, shipping, and installation guidance.
Install and share
Hardware ships ready to install — pre-drilled, labeled, and packaged in install order. Most teams finish in a single afternoon with a few volunteers and basic tools. Then open your StoryWalk and invite the community.
- Step-by-step install guide and a phone call with our team if you need it.
- Swap stories seasonally — frames are designed for quick panel changes.
- Share opening day with us; we love seeing the trails come to life.
