​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. Our fairy librarian even has her own special home inside the library, can you find her door inside?

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.

Dash is a bright, playful and cheeky fairy, but you have to be when you’re a squirrel sitter. Dash just loves playing hide and seek, pass the acorn, and way up high with all his little friends. So if you happen to see a squirrel scampering around the library grounds, keep and eye out for mischievous little Dash riding along.

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 on her little dock 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.

Her love of dance compliments Mistral’s music bring energy to each piece. While Mistral sits, Flitter leaps, twirls, and rolls allowing her boundless energy and joy to escape. Together, Mistral and Flitter, are wonderful entertainers, their shows are not to be missed. Can you guess who lives behind which door?

FAQs
How many doors are there? There are 12 outside and 1 inside
Where are the fairy doors exactly? Telling you would take the fun out of finding them, but here are a few hints. There are 3 in the library's side yard, 1 along the path behind the library, 2 down by the stone bench and 5 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. (Note the fairy door inside the library does open; it is the only one that will.)
