"The book entitled "Enchanted Garden" has two pages revealed. The first page states, "Every garden has a secret place where magical things happen. Sprites dance there, the bells on their hats ring. If you're quiet and listen, you may be able to hear them. Let your imagination soar.", while the other page explains that "Your adventure in the Enchanted Garden begins ..."
"One of the books under The Enchanted Garden is Gullivers Travels. Library Garden also has a pool of water topped by a statue of some books with a reading lamp closer to the street. Quotes found in the park are from Socrates, E. E. Cummings, William Shakespeare, President John F. Kennedy, Ben Franklin, and several others," the Weird California reports.
