Visit Iron Mountain Park to read our newest StoryWalk® installation, "Song in the City." Written by Daniel Bernstrom and illustrated by Jenin Mohammed, it tells the story of a young blind girl filled to overflowing with the sounds of her beloved city. Poetically rhythmic and lightly humorous, the tale bridges the gap between generations of music and family while centering love, understanding and joy. Celebrate Disability Pride Month at one of Lake Oswego’s most accessible natural areas, Iron Mountain Park.

Iron Mountain Park is located at 2401 Iron Mountain Rd., Lake Oswego. For more information, contact the Children’s desk at 503-697-6580.

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.
