Witherle Memorial Library will sponsor a lantern walk from 3:30-4:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec.5 at the town’s StoryWalk at the corner of Court and Spring streets.

Lanterns will be available for participants to use to take a self-guided walk at dusk through the Castine Community StoryWalk. The individual stanchions that hold the pages of the December story also will be gently lighted. Participants can take home their lanterns once they’ve completed the walk.

The featured StoryWalk story for December will be Bear and Wolf, written and illustrated by Daniel Salmieri. In this story, Bear and Wolf, out for nighttime walks, cross paths and decide to hike together, first through snowy winter vistas, then later through green springtime fields. The book demonstrates the importance of  peaceful companionship and mutual appreciation of natural beauty.
