Waterville StoryWalk®

The 2026 Autumn StoryWalk® at Reed Field

 

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. 

What was Your StoryWalk® Experience?
Please share a sentence or a story about something you appreciate, experienced, or observed on the StoryWalk®. If you took a picture of something you found, upload the photo to share that, too! https://form.jotform.com/watervillepubliclibrary/wtvl-storywalk-experience

You can also share any of the above via Facebook, Instagram, or Bluesky by tagging the Waterville Public Library and/or using the hashtag #storywalkwtvl.
