Happy Valley Library Storywalk Books

Since Spring 2024, the HV Library has put picture books on display in Happy Valley Park, following a winding trail from the All-Abilities Playground at the park's southern end. Each book on this list had its moment in the sun (and rain) for one month, delighting walkers, strollers, dog-walkers, and whoever else wandered by to read the story.
