Check out the book walk around Rockwell City square - with one of the stops in front of the Carnegie Library building!

Thank you ISU Extension and Outreach Calhoun County and Calhoun County Conservation for doing this!

How about a little walk while reading a book? The Calhoun County Conservation and ISU Extension and Outreach Calhoun County have teamed up once again to offer story book walks around Rockwell City. This time is a bit different in that you will start on the north side of the square at Abstract Associates and Dr. Kalkwarf's office. You will make your way to the County Attorney's office, First Community Bank, Sinek Vision, United Bank, Trash and Treasures, Hildreth Clinic, Rusty Farrington's, the Health Department, Carnegie Library and finish at Styles on 5th. This book will be up until Monday, March 14.
