Armchair Treasure Hunt Hunting for a new read? Let us lead you to buried treasure! If you’re ready for an adventure, all you have to do is pick up a wrapped “treasure” book from the Information Desk at any point during the Summer Reading Program. Dig into the book when you get home to discover your loot. Will you strike gold with a new favorite? Tell us what you thought and enter the clue found in the back of the book on our special online form for a chance to win a $50 gift card to Poor Richard’s Books.
