To participate, visit the library and pick up a numbered glass bottle from the table located in the Teen area of the library. Bring the bottle to the Circulation Desk and our staff will give you a "mystery" title to read. It's a mystery, because you don't know what title you will get! (Titles will not necessarily be a mystery genre.)
