StoryWalk® at Rotary Park – Wilmington Memorial Library

Welcome to WML’s StoryWalk® at Rotary Park funded by the Friends of the Wilmington Memorial Library 2021 Annual Appeal.

The 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. StoryWalks® are now installed in all 50 states, supporting literacy, health and fitness.

As you walk along the path, each numbered sign contains the page from a book. Enjoy reading and following the story, beginning at the playground, circling the pond, and ending on the opposite side of the field. Please feel free to take photos and share your experience on by tagging us on social media or email your photos to us at kids@wilmlibrary.org.

We hope you enjoy the stories posted at the StoryWalk® at Rotary Park. Library staff will be changing out the book every so often so please come back soon for another walk around the park!

Our newest Storywalk® book is Sing Like a Whale, written by Moira Butterfield and illustrated by Gwen Millward.

Hoot like an owl, howl like a wolf, and sing like a whale. Everyone needs to get their message and feelings across, animals included! Meet a collection of 12 animals from around the world and discover the sounds they make, and why. The book features a different creature on each spread, along with dynamic type design and illustrations to help the kids mimic each animal noise. The perfect book to read aloud one-to-one, or as a fun activity to engage a group of young children and get them using their voices and moving their bodies!
