"Scotland County Parks and Recreation and the Scotland County Memorial Library partnered together to add a StoryWalk to the Bridge Creek trail at the James L. M...organ Complex on Turnpike Road. The trail features a scavenger hunt and a fairy-theme poem. The StoryWalk is for adults, kids and families, said Youth Services Librarian Jenna Knight.
