Take a walk, enjoy a book
The Lee County Library System, in partnership with the Lee County Parks and Recreation Department, has established a Book Walk at Three Oaks Park in Estero.
Visitors of all ages are invited to follow the trail through Three Oaks Park and read “Dragon Jr. Sigue Las Pistas” (Dragon Jr. Follows the Clues) by Graciela Repun with illustrations by Eugenia Nobat. The Book Walk features a rotating selection of bilingual English-Spanish picture books displayed in bookstalls along the trail near the children’s playground next to the soccer and baseball fields.
A public celebration of the new Book Walk is planned from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, June 22. Library staff will be there to promote the summer reading program, “The Adventure Begins at Your Library,” and the festivities will include a special Book Walk scavenger hunt with prize draws.
The Three Oaks Park Book Walk is the third book walk established through this partnership. The library opened its first book walk at Veterans Park in Lehigh Acres last August and added a second book walk at Lakes Park in January. The library hopes to establish additional book walks at other parks throughout the county.
