Pop-up library in the parks

Share books, songs, and play in our parks

Weather permitting, come check out books in Oak Park parks, engaging with neighbors, and signing up for our kids’ summer reading program, Reading Takes You Everywhere. Then, see where else the Book Bike will be this summer »

“This idea stemmed from what we heard while talking with young families and home daycare providers last summer, about feeling isolated and appreciating opportunities to meet up with other community members and home daycare providers in a public space,” said Neighborhood Services Librarian Sarah Yale.

  • Explore a new playground, hit a home run and learn about water conservation.
  • Draw, act and discover how the Park District supports our community and recreation around the world.
  • The new Wellness Boosts will challenge kids to stay active and healthy this summer.
