Literacy and Recreation Program now available to Delaware County Residents
Delaware County residents can now take part in StoryWalk® at Rose Tree Park! Located in the upper field behind the amphitheater stage, StoryWalk® is a children's story book that is spread out page by page across 18 reading stations along an approximately .25 mile trail that promotes health and literacy in children. StoryWalk® is generally geared for children between the ages of 1-7. You can find a map of StoryWalk's location and reading station trail here. Find the StoryWalk® welcome sign, as seen above, to begin your journey!
Read the StoryWalk® Opening Ceremony Press Release here (PDF). The StoryWalk® project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition (VBPC) and the Kellogg Hubbard Library. Delaware County Libraries is proud to be the first library system in the region that offers all of its patrons the StoryWalk® project.
The StoryWalk® book will be changed throughout the year, so check our website and social media accounts as we'll be announcing new StoryWalk® books. Currently in StoryWalk® is the book On My Papa's Shoulders by Niki Daly.
