We asked where you’d put one in GVL, and you sent in your ideas.

We recently wrote about South Korea’s outdoor library concept, and were we’d like to see one in Greenville. Our suggestion? Runway Park for a unique aviation-centric backdrop.

After that, your own ideas flooded in. Here are a few of them:

  • “On the back part of Falls Park by the creek. The sound of water and the shaded area would be great for outdoor reading.” — Tammie W.
  • “The Old Mill on Reedy River would be cool. People watching, soothing sounds of the river, shady, and plenty of fun spots to get cozy with a good book. <3" — Kayla N.
  • “Camperdown because it is perfect to grab a book and then a short walk to a Falls Park bench for a nice afternoon of reading...” — Jodee H.
  • “Paris Mtn. State Park — to be amongst the trees!” — Karen T.

There’s dozens more ideas to browse through — see which ones you like, or submit a response of your own.
