Storybook trail being constructed next to library
The planned trail will feature rotating stories that kids can read as they walk
By News Channel NebraskaNORFOLK - A new feature coming to northeast Nebraska this summer will give kids a chance to get outside and enjoy a good book at the same time.
The City of Norfolk is constructing a storybook trail and playground just north of the public library in Warren Cook Park.
In addition to having an all-ages playground, the park will feature a walking trail that loops around with different stations where kids can read different parts of a story.
The trail is being constructed using additional funds from the bond the city used to renovate the library in 2017.
City Parks & Recreation Director Nate Powell says the storybook trail portion should be open by the end of May, while the playground will be done sometime in late summer or early fall.
