“So many things are possible just as long as you don’t know they’re impossible.” -The Phantom Tollbooth, Norton Juster, 1961
Let’s be honest, we at the library are missing the elementary school which stood a block away. We have great memories of all the students and classes who, for one reason or another, came to the library during the school hours. With the closing of the school and students now going to the new school campus, we were challenged to think of new ways to promote literacy, love for reading, and life-long learning, to think about what possibilities and opportunities maybe we hadn’t seen before. With the generous help of our township trustees and volunteers, we will soon open the Fredericksburg Story Trail at the Fredericksburg Community Park, as well as the Bear Den Community Trail (formerly school Bear Den Land Lab) adjacent to the ball diamond. Our hope is that these will become places for families to enjoy together, spending time in beautiful surroundings, enjoying the sharing of a good story.
