StoryWalk® at North Street Connector Trail
What is the StoryWalk®? StoryWalk® promotes reading, movement, relationships, outside time, and exploration. “A StoryWalk® is a lovely way for children and adults to wander in discovery and delight with great children’s books immersed in nature,” said Liz Davis, Children’s Librarian. A StoryWalk® offers laminated pages of children’s books along a walking trail. As you stroll down the trail, discover the unfolding of a story with engaging prompts. Waterville StoryWalk® is a fun way for children and adults to enjoy both the great outdoors and great children’s books. StoryWalk® helps build children’s interest in reading while encouraging healthy activity for both adults and children.
Where is Waterville's StoryWalk®? There are now Waterville StoryWalks® in TWO locations!
At our original location, the Waterville Public Library and partners are delighted to announce that that StoryWalk® at the North Street Community Connector Trail in Waterville, Maine has a new book installed!! The North Street Community Connector Trail StoryWalk® starts at the trailhead across the street from Quarry Road in Waterville.
This trail is now hosting Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening written by Robert Frost, illustrated by P.J. Lynch.
And the Rotary Clubs of Waterville Noon and Waterville Sunrise, and the Waterville Public Library are delighted to announce a second Waterville StoryWalk® location at Reed Field! Located at 58 Drummond Avenue in Waterville, visit Reed Field to enjoy a stroll along a wooded area and read The Roar written by Eoin McLaughlin and illustrated by Polly Dunbar. Reed Field is located on the corner of Armory Road and Drummond Ave, adjacent to Waterville's George J. Mitchell School and Educare campus.
