Waterville Public Library

Autumn StoryWalk® at North Street Connector Trail

What is a StoryWalk®? StoryWalk® promotes reading, movement, relationships, outside time, and exploration. A StoryWalk® offers laminated pages of children’s books along a walking trail. Interact through the story via prompts that encourage movement and discovery. Waterville StoryWalks® are a fun way for children and adults to enjoy both the great outdoors and great children’s books. 

Waterville StoryWalks® are in TWO locations!

The North Street Community Connector Trail StoryWalk® starts at the trailhead across the street from Quarry Road in Waterville.

Coming soon in early December 2025, this trail will be hosting The Light That Dances in the Night written and illustrated by Yuval Zommer.

In addition, the Rotary Clubs of Waterville Noon and Waterville Sunrise, and the Waterville Public Library are delighted to offer 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 a book during the Spring, Summer, and Fall! Reed Field is located on the corner of Armory Road and Drummond Ave, adjacent to Waterville's George J. Mitchell School and Educare campus.

This trail is closed for the winter.

Thank you to our partners and donors!

 

Waterville StoryWalks® are made possible through a community partnership of the Waterville Public Library, Waterville Parks & Recreation, Waterville Creates, Children’s Discovery Museum, and the Colby College Civic Engagement and Community Partnerships Program along with financial support from the Waterville Area Women’s Club, Renys, and other anonymous donors.

 

The StoryWalk® at Reed Field was also made possible through the generous donations of the Waterville Noon and Waterville Sunrise Rotary Clubs. 

 

The original StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. StoryWalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.
