Something mysterious is haunting the Library's adult section... A playful ghost has hidden a missing bestseller and scattered clues throughout the stacks. Can you solve the case? Pick up your Detective Report from the small table outside Rotary Maker Space 3 upstairs, then follow the trail of clues as you explore the library, uncover hidden collections, and reveal a secret message leading to the final mystery. When you've solved the case, return your completed Detective Report to the Detective Drop Box on the same table for a chance to win a Cozy Fall Reading Basket, with the winner drawn during Author Alley on November 13. A fun, self-guided Halloween mystery for everyone.
