Mystery Readers - ???
Mystery Readers can visit with a couple of favorite books on Thursday or Friday afternoon at 2:35. If this day/time does not work with your schedule, we can arrange for a different time.
The "mystery" begins in the morning with reading clue #1 in the morning, followed by clue #2 after lunch. Please make the first 2 clues rather vague such favorite color, favorite sport, favorite food, etc.) . The 3rd clue should be more descriptive, and will be read right before you arrive. We can't wait to see you!
Shhh...remember it's a surprise!
