The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Departments's Feature Friday

Each Friday, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents or visitors to learn more about. This week we're excited to tell you about a new Little Free Library location here in Greenville!

Morgan, with a little help from her dad, built and painted this Little Free Library. When she approached the Parks Department about dedicating it to one of our parks, we had just the spot! It is now located at the Greenville Lions Park, right next to the bike rack.


Millions of books are exchanged each year though Little Free Libraries. The organization believes that one of the most successful ways to improve the reading achievements of children, is to increase their access to books. They are reported to have over 80,000 libraries in over 90 countries!

Morgan’s is the third Little Free Libraries to be placed on Town property here in Greenville. The other two can be found at our Town Hall Office and in Appletree Square. To locate Little Free Libraries on private property, check out the official map at: https://littlefreelibrary.org/ourmap/
