To make sure everyone is in agreement with the list of events planned for this celebration, this is what I have. Please let me know what I'm missing or if I have something incorrect. We will be working from this list to create the table tent cards. This list was also posted in the Facebook group (www.facebook.com/groups/2621340801231392/ if you haven't joined yet).
Bookmark and short story contest will be announced in early November, with deadline for entries Dec. 14th. The library is working with Abby Weaver to set up the scavenger hunt, which will probably be launched at Winterfest, 3 weeks before the John O'Hara events.
