Book Hunters

Today, September 18th, is National Hide a Book Day! There are a few rules below and then the clues are underneath that!
The library has hidden books throughout town at SIXTEEN local businesses and other places where people can hunt for them and be “Book Hunters.” We have posted clues on where to find the book bags below, so put your thinking caps on! Some businesses are opening in the afternoon, so, hopefully that will give more people a chance to hunt.
If you find the book, please come to this post and let us know that you've found it! Post a picture that you’ve found the book so we can mark it off the list and people can stop looking for it. Then, you can take the book and goodies home with you!
Feel free to post your photo on social media like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter with the hashtags #hideabookday, #RogersPublicLibrary, and #BookHunters. Also, tag the place you found the book bag so everyone knows how awesome those places are about teaming up with the library.
If you find a book bag, we ask that you let others have a chance to find goodies before you seek out more. You can also read the book and set it free again!
The goodies will be in a bag with our logo on it; a picture of our book bag can be found below the text.
The Children's Library is also having their own Hide a Book Day adventures inside the Children's Library. Be sure and see the Children's librarians for clues!
Have fun hunting! And now, for the moment we've all been waiting for.. THE CLUES!
