Park Benches
Remember when Sandy Springs had its Town Turtles? Maybe not, if you aren’t familiar with all things Atlanta. Many cities around the globe have decorated cows. A town in Kansas decorates outdoor squirrel statues. Hendersonville, NC had a ‘bearfoot artwalk’ this year to reveal new decorated bears in the downtown area. So, it should come as no surprise that we now have park benches in the shape of open books. The above photo comes from a town in Bulgaria.
What a great idea to honor books and encourage reading! The following photos depict creative park benches from around the world.
What a lovely. way to celebrate reading and stimulate our creative juices! Back in the summer of 2007, there were sea turtles all over Downtown Charleston, and I have two framed photos from my niece and nephew to remind us of the displays. I love this idea to advocate literacy and creativity and wish that I could visit.

For some reason, I don’t remember the turtles in Charleston. That was an appropriate theme, of course. I’m glad you liked the benches.
Love those benches! Thanks for sharing them with all of us.
I’m so glad you like them. I thought the idea was brillant.
