We will have a revised scavenger hunt for the kids. Completed scavenger hunts will get a free picture book, while supplies last. The older kids will get a free ABC canvas tote, also while supplies last.

Customers with purchases of over $50- before taxes will get their choice of a mystery book, while supplies last. Mystery books are different from our Blind Dates books. Mystery books have the genre on the front, along with a quote from inside the book. 

We will also have a table set up with 20% off new local books as marked.

We hope to see you Saturday, April 25th, between 10am and 6pm!
