It's a summer full of events here are The Curious Reader! With a book launch, scavenger hunts, bingo boards, and more, we've got plenty of fun ways for you to spend the summer break.
🎃 Join us THIS SUNDAY to celebrate the launch of PUMPKIN APOCALYPSE by MD Payne! This book is perfect for Goosebumps readers, as well as anyone who appreciates a fast paced, action-packed story with some light scares and sinister gourds! The author will be reading and signing starting at 11am!
🔎 Find Waldo Local, the scavenger hunt taking place in Rock Road businesses, continues all July long! Stop by the bookstore to pick up your passport and get searching! Thank you to all the Glen Rock stores who are participating.
🏆 Waldo himself will be attending our grand finale party on Wednesday, August 5! He'll be pulling the lucky winner's name out of a hat, so make sure you come to see if you've won! Anyone who finds at least fifteen Glen Rock Waldos is eligible to win.
📚 From now until August 10, you can support childhood literacy by donating a book bundle to kids enrolled in Paterson's Sankofa Academy summer program! Details on the front page of our site.
🗓️ Our next meeting of the Curious Book Club (for grown-ups) will be on August 13, where we'll be discussing Last Night in Brooklyn by Xochitl Gonzalez. Sign up through thecuriousreaderbooks.com!
✨ And don't forget that Summer Reading Bingo continues until Labor Day! It's open to kids AND adults, and you can complete up to THREE cards to win a $10 gift certificate! ✨
