Visit Freepons Park to read to read our newest StoryWalk® installation, "Milo + Niko" by D. Guzman. A story about the power of imagination and the thrill of adventures, like exploring the jungle, from the comfort of home in both English and Spanish!

Where does your imagination travel when you're bored and stuck inside? Milo, an energetic girl confined to Abuelita's plant shop, spends her time roaming the aisles and checking out knick-knacks. She finds that she isn't alone - a Bengal tiger is loose in the shop! Together, after earning each other's trust, they delve into the deep, dark rainforest of plants and head to their first of many adventures.

What is a StoryWalk®?

StoryWalk® is an innovative and delightful way to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. Laminated pages from a children’s book are displayed and installed along an outdoor path. As you stroll down the trail, you’re directed to the next page in the story. StoryWalks promote early literacy, physical activity, and family time together in nature. They are also an opportunity to reach community members who may not come to the library.

Where is the StoryWalk®?

Stories are installed in different parks throughout the City. Locations and book selections change on a semi-regular basis. Below are books we have featured in the past.
