A second Waterville StoryWalk, located on the North Street Community Connector Trail, hosts “Imagine a Wolf” by Lucky Platt. This StoryWalk starts at the trailhead across the street from Quarry Road.
As part of Arts in Bloom at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 6, people can stop by the trail, meet the author, and take a guided walk with StoryWalk partners.
StoryWalk promotes reading, movement, relationships, outside time, and exploration.
A StoryWalk offers laminated pages of children’s books along a walking trail. As people stroll down the trail, they discover the unfolding of a story with engaging prompts. New stories will keep coming along.
While supplies last, copies of current StoryWalk books are available for pick-up for free at the Waterville Public Library, 73 Elm St.
The new StoryWalk at Reed Field has been made possible by Waterville Sunrise and Noon Rotary Club grants.
