Program Description: 
Four “lovesick” bookworms have wiggled their way through our children’s bookshelves in search of the books they love more than anything else. Can you find all four of them each week? And let us know in which book they reside. Write down each title and share it with a librarian for a special sticker or bookmark. And be sure to check out one or two of those bookworm favorites.
