Tale Trail

Walk a Story!

The Tale Trail is an interactive outdoor story path for young readers.  As they move along a path, they can explore the page panels at their speed and immerse themselves in the story.

The story adventure starts on the pond side of the WDM Library and leads you through the tunnel and up to Ashawa Park, then back again. 

The Tale Trail was sponsored by the Friends Foundation of the WDM Library.  Youth Services staff update it several times per year.

Snowmen at Work by Caralyn Buehner

If you were a snowman, what job would you choose?

Ten years ago, on the publication of Snowmen at Night, we discovered the secret lives of snowmen. While we humans sleep, the snowmen go sledding, play baseball, and drink cocoa. But now it's revealed that snowmen don't just play all night--they have jobs to do, just like the parents of human kids. Dentists replace missing coal from snowman smiles while pet store owners help pair snowkids with their very own snowpuppy or snowfish to love. The pizza man delivers frozen pizza, and factory workers make the coolest toys in town.
