Chomping Around Town with Gus

Chomping around town with Gus

Find our Summer Reading mascot, Gus, around town from June 21 to August 2! Find Gus and then come back to the Children’s Department. Fill out the scavenger hunt form to let us know where you found Gus, and drop it in for a chance to win a prize. Each Friday, we’ll share a new clue to let you know where Gus is visiting this week.

Clue for the week beginning July 26 – Last week of Chomping Around Town with Gus!

Gus has chomped his way through town this summer, and now it is time for him to come home. I bet he’ll check out some good books with his LIBRARY card. Happy reading, Gus!
