Listening to an audiobook during the physical act of walking becomes an immersive experience. Walking boosts motivation to keep listening, and can be a very effective, screen-free mental escape.

To encourage this healthy habit with students and staff, the Library is launching a CAVBlock short-listening activity in Fall 2026.   

What's a Book Walk?  Groups of listeners will walk to pre-loaded short pieces (20 minutes max).  When the track runs out, we turn around and discuss what we heard on the way back to the building. All participants are encouraged to make recommendations for future listens. 

• Students interested in participating should sign up for an available CAVBlock time in Adaptive Scheduler.  All participants will gather in the Library at 10am to get a media player and headphones.  (Sorry, no cell phones allowed!) 

• The group will go outside to walk either around the building or around the track.  

• Stories will vary and tracks titles will be listed on a menu sheet. 

Come walk and listen with us!
