The City of Green Bay has over 60 parks maintained by the City, including Bay Beach Amusement Park and the Wildlife Sanctuary. As part of an ongoing intiative to get more children and adults reading, the Parks department has recently installed Little Free Libraries in over 30 parks throughout the City. In its most basic form, a Little Free Library is a box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up a book (or two) and bring back another book to share.
