Luckily, the Wilmington, New Castle, and Hockessin areas have some fantastic libraries and parks in New Castle County. Did you know we also have quite a collection of book walks, story trails, and learning trails?
Learning is more fun on the move! How many of these paths have you visited?
STORY WALKS |
These trails bring books to life as visitors walk by signs with enlarged book pages. Book Walks spark their interest in learning and make predictions as they move throughout the story. Plus, children will connect with nature in new ways and explore local parks.
Located at schools, state parks, and other outdoor spaces, these trails encourage visitors to travel back in time, read stories in English and Spanish, and test their creativity while exercising their minds and bodies.
