Unwrap a Surprise Display at the Children's Library, May 17-24

Submitted by AmyM on May 17, 2013 - 12:24pm

Not sure what you want to read today? Looking for something new or different? Check out the UnWrap a Surprise display in the Children's Library this week!

The children's librarians have handpicked some of our favorite books and wrapped them in colorful paper so you can take home (and unwrap) a surprise book. Other than the label - "Picture Book," "Beginning Reader" or "Chapter Book" - the wrapping won't give you any other clue about the story inside.

So stop on by and pick out a book, it might just become your new favorite!
