Book store shoppers unveil important message

A special promotion at the Friends of the Library Book Store left a powerful message for customers.

Jolly the Gingerbread Man resided in the book store during the month of December, moving to a new location each day that the store was open throughout the month, and giving a clue each day toward the message he had for shoppers.

Children were asked to search for Jolly in his new location each day, with the first child locating the Gingerbread Man receiving a prize on that day.

Said Beth Schulz, Friends of the Library Book Store Manager, "The message was complete by the end of December—a most fitting message for all people. "Glory to God in the Highest.' "

Schulz and her staff of volunteers have a variety of fun activities and future promotions planned for the book store.

Located in the lower level of the Library Center of the Ozarks, the Friends of the Library Book Store offers a large variety of gently used books for all ages and interests, as well as DVDs, games and puzzles.

The Friends of the Library Book Store provides funding for special events held at the Library Center of the Ozarks, such as the Library's Summer Reading program.
