‘’Story Nest’ Communal Library
One of the residents of the city suggested the idea to set up the community library and approached the Park Administration with a request to facilitate its operation. As soon as the idea was shared with the park volunteers, they started planning the library. Aviram Zohar, a master carpenter, used reused wood and recycled materials to build the library. The Park Library was established with the goal to encourage and connect residents and visitors to the world of books, allowing them to unplug from their mobile phones, and read a good book in a relaxing and inviting environment. The library is open to the public and welcomes everyone to borrow, enjoy and return books and even donate books for the benefit of others.
The library is operated and maintained on an ongoing basis by the "Herzliya Park Volunteers" group, which performs volunteer work in Herzliya Park and Beit Keynan. Library volunteers take turns in the operation of the library, arranging books, registering and stamping them, and organizing and maintain the library.
A communal library was also established at Beit Keynan, made entirely from recycled materials. Visitors to Beit Keynan are welcome to visit and enjoy the library.
