Library Without Walls — a weathered wooden sign hanging in a sunlit garden reads: “Free PDF stories for kids to read or download anywhere in the world — and a place where kids write stories for other kids.” Around it, a crate of free storybooks, an open book on the grass, a book titled “Your Story,” and small signs reading “Story Seed” and “Read · Imagine · Grow · Share.”
