This initiative was inspired by previous interactions between AYLUS volunteers and local children who appeared to have limited access to books. Recognizing a potential gap in literacy resources, we decided to establish a Little Library in this area to provide children and the community with easier access to reading materials.
Sylvan Lake Park, located in Seminole County, is a luxurious 133-acre recreation hub known for its athletic facilities, hiking trails, and nature-rich environment.
