Doyle and Cameron Collins for a fu n and fascinating turn on the WHEEL! OF! FOR…EST PARK!  \n\n\n\nAs the heart of St. Louis celebrates its 150th year in 2026\, you’re invited to take an interactive tour through some of Forest Park’s most familiar an d beloved features\, as well as get treated to hidden histories and fascin ating trivia…all from the comfort of your seat at the Kirkwood Public Li brary! Your guide: “Forest Park: St. Louis’s Gathering Place Since 187 6\,” the new\, lushly illustrated book by Doyle and Collins. We’ll hav e a carnival-style spinny wheel and you\, the audience\, will use it to di rect our talk. Come hear about the animals who arrived before the Zoo\, th e generations of folks who've slept in tent cities in the park\, the count ry's first hot-air balloon race\, and more.  \n\n\n\nThe park has been bo th a mirror for St. Louis and its people. It showed us examples of all the trials and triumphs we experienced in our everyday lives\, from racial st rife and economic freefall to population abandonment and urban decline. It ’s also been a window\, giving us glimpses of what else lay beyond our o wn experiences and broadening our lives\, from bringing the world’s wond ers here for a spectacular exposition to providing a home for the playgrou nd movement\, accessible arts\, and a free place to breathe and just be. O f particular interest to Kirkwood fans will be the pivotal role played by Hiram W. Leffingwell in the park's conception and creation. \n\n\n\nPlease bring your favorite Forest Park memories and your burning questions\; we' ll do our best to answer them! Books will be available for purchase and pe rsonalized signing by the authors. (Cash/check/credit/debit/Venmo accepted \; $49.36 per copy.)
