Let’s CELEBRATE TENNESSEE LIBRARIES! by dressing up as our literary heroes at the All Conference Reception!
Maybe Sherlock Holmes can tell Nancy Drew how to NOT get trapped in a closet. Boo Radley and Miss Havisham can chat about being loners in today’s social media driven society. Holden Caulfield and The Mad Hatter can compare haberdasheries. The possibilities are only limited by our imaginations!
Have fun guessing which book characters are in attendance. Prizes will be awarded to the top three costumes and a photographer will be available to capture those historic moments.
Costumes are not required, just more fun!
