Stories run one month at a time, switching at the start of each new month. The Glasgow City-County Library and the Freind's of the Library fund the majority of the program, with the library staff selecting and purchasing the books, funding the story walk boards and supplies. Staff at the Interpretive Center laminate the stories and manage the story trail. For more information feel free to contact us at the library. Watch for updates as new stories will come out May 2026.
