Door # 20B

​The Library Door​: Bet you didn’t know fairies love to read! They do, anything on gardens, animals or about the natural world and they love to laugh over human children’s picture books. But every library needs a librarian and the fairies have Page. She loves to help fairies find books and she loves to read them to the fairy children. 

Door # 5

​Behind this door lives a very tidy garden fairy. Lupine likes to have his garden just so. No weeds and definitely no litter. But there is usually a riot of color: bluebells, yellow dandelions, violets and more. His  favorite thing besides gardening is to sit on his little bench in the garden and read.
 

Door # 245

If you need to roundup a herd of ladybugs then Lacey is the fairy you need. Lacey tends the local ladybug herds and moves them tot he gardens that need them the most. It's not an easy job and ladybugs have a mind of their own and they like to wander, plus they fly. So she has to be quick on her wings to keep all of her loveliness in line.

Door # 52

​Like any water fairy Periwinkle likes living by the "sea," where she can talk to fish and play with the tadpoles. During her free time she likes to sit by the water and fish (unlike human fishing, fairy fishing is for feeding and making friends, not for catching). She could spend all day there fishing and watching the sparkles on the water.

Mistral is a musician who likes to create beautiful melodies on his needle piano, acorn lute or reed flutes. Lately his tunes have been a little sad. His twin sister, Flitter, who loves to dance, has taken a trip and it has left Mistral a little lonely. Luckily a new friend has moved in next door and maybe her creations will soon cheer him up.

Door # 11

Now this door may look a little dark and scary, and that is how Needle likes it. Needle is a little bit grumpy and doesn’t like company. But put him with  a group of spiders and he’s as happy as can be. That is why Needle makes the most wonderful spider silk creations of all. Unfortunately every fairy wants one.

Door # 88

Zephyr like her name is always off in the wind somewhere exciting, scattering seeds as she goes. As a seed fairy it’s her job to make sure seeds get to their forever homes. Everyday is a different seed taken to a different perfect place. But when Zephyr is home she likes to spend time with her friends and share stories from her travels.

Door # 62

A dusting of flour and sugar cover everything behind this door. Ginger loves to bake and her sugary confections are divine. As much as she loves baking, Ginger loves to share her goodies with her new friends and neighbors. Tea and cookies with her new friend Merlin is such fun. So if you catch a whiff of lavender and vanilla you'll know she's baking.

Door # 9

​Luna just loves the night. The stars that sparkle and the fireflies are just so twinkly and fun. She spends most of her time staring up at the stars and the moon and designing wonderful dreams. If you find her door just remember to be quiet, if its daytime, Luna is likely to be sleeping inside.

Door # 150

Behind this door is a wonder of invention. Plants of all kinds grown in acorn pots, little bowls, wooden spoons and vials and tubes made from plants and roots. You have found Merlin's lab. Here he makes medicines, lotions and so much more. Have an upset stomach or a mouse with a cut then visit Merlin the herbalist and he'll fix you right up!

Door # 4

Avery runs this area's fairy flight school. When she's not in class teaching new fairies to fly, she's out learning new techniques from the birds, butterflies, bats, bees, dragonflies and.... well anything that flies. Her most favorite thing is learning how to swoop and do loop-de-loops from the goldfinches and the hummingbirds are teaching her to fly backwards!

Door # 312

It is not unlikely to hear the sound of thumping followed by periods of silence behind this door. As an animal fairy who specializes in rabbits, Pinna is always practicing her thumping skills or you may find her in front of a mirror twitching her nose. The language of rabbits is very complex and Pinna wants her furry friends to always be able to understand her.

FAQs
How many doors are there? There are 12 
Where are the fairy doors exactly? Telling you would take the fun out of finding them, but here are a few hints. There are 4 in the library's side yard, 2 along the path behind the library, 2 down by the stone bench and 3 in Centennial Park and 1 by the library's front door.
Do the fairy doors open? Only if you are a fairy. Fairies have special locks on their doors that only open to fairies and remain permanently locked to humans. Please be gentle if you try to open the fairy doors, fairy doorknobs can be broken easily.
