Mystery Reader on Galiano

The Galiano library is a happening place, made even more happening with mystery readers coming by regularly! It all starts when clues about the mystery reader are posted on the bulletin board just outside the library. Students try to guess who the reader is, write their guesses on slips of paper, and put them in an envelope. The day of the mystery reader, the students come into the library, the clues are reviewed and all of the guesses are read out. The best part is when the reader is revealed: shocked and excited faces abound! Now it's time for the story!!
