The Friends of the Library Bookstore is planning a fun-filled December for area children.
Jolly the Gingerbread Man will be hiding in the bookstore each day during the month of December. The first child to find Jolly each day will receive a gift and that child's adults will receive 50% off their entire bookstore purchases on that day.
Other children who find the eight-inch-tall Jolly after his initial spotting will also receive a gift.
"Jolly will not be behind any books that the children have to pull out to find him, " explained Beth Schulz, manager of the Friends of the Library Bookstore. "He will be seen—or part of him will be seen."
Jolly the Ginger Man will go into hiding on December 1, and will continue to play hide-and-seek with the children through the end of the month.
The Friends of the Library Bookstore is a nonprofit shop, filled with very affordable secondhand books for all ages and all interests. The store also features a large selection of DVDs, games and puzzles. The bookstore is operated by Schulz and her staff of dedicated volunteers. Proceeds from the bookstore help with many of the Library programs and projects.
The Friends of the Library Bookstore can be found on the lower level of the Library Center of the Ozarks, 200 South 4th Street in Downtown Branson.
The bookstore is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Said Schulz, who is always eager to see more children in the bookstore, "I'm looking forward to this, and hoping it will be a big success."
