Kathlyn Clay Edward Library, Greensboro - Yen Tang



I went back to Greensboro during Easter break and went to KCE library to check out some books to read. This library is located inside Price Park which includes a reading garden, walking trails as well as a bird and butterfly meadow.
The reading garden is located behind the library and was initiated by Cadet Girl Scout troop 66. This garden, even though small in size, features a variety of native plants, water conservation measures and certainly serves as a very nice spot for those who enjoy readings and want to get some sun while at it.

Price Park has a few different walking trails. When I was there checking out the place, I saw quite a few people walking/running/jogging around. Around the walking trails, there are signs that serve to educate the public about the local fauna, wildlife and succession stages in the development of the forests. These signs also explain how human interaction affects the natural environment.
Even though this was a quick visit since I originally only wanted to check out some books and left, the surrounding was very pleasant which kept me stay a bit longer and take a few pictures for my leisure. Overall, the place was very neat and is a good resource providing environmental information for children as well as adults.
