This is a collection of all the fairy doors that have been on the library grounds. All the doors are handmade and hand painted, so we ask that you treat them with care. Some are still here, some have been replaced with new designs and some are gone completely. Those doors that are listed as active are still here on the grounds, though they may no longer be in the fairy walk brochure. Those doors that are listed as inactive are no longer here, but we like to keep a record of their existence anyway.
Doors # 7.5 and #71 - Fairy twins are very rare and while Mistral and Flitter may look alike they are a different as can be. Mistral is a musician. He likes to spend his hours sitting in his favorite spots creating wonderful pieces of music inspired by the wind, water and earth around him. His various melodies played on the needle piano, acorn lute or reed flutes are inspiring. Flitter though feels the need to move. Her love of dance compliments Mistrals' music and brings energy to each piece. While Mistral sits, Flitter leaps, twirls and rolls allowing her boundless energy and joy to escape. Together, Mistral and Flitter, are wonderful entertainers, their shows are not to be missed. (Door 71 inactive, Door 7.5 updated due to damage)
Door #7.5 (version 2) - Mistral is a musician who likes to create beautiful melodies on his needles piano, acorn lute or reed flutes. Lately his tunes have been a little sad. His twin sister, Flitter who loves to dance, has taken a trip and it has left Mistral a little lonely. Luckily a new friend has moved in next door and maybe her creations will soon cheer him up.

Door #11 - Now this door may look a little dark and scary and that is how Needle likes it. Needle is a little bit grumpy and doesn't like company.
