Countdown to Summer Reading - Day 21 (Have you seen Sammy?)

For those of you who might not have met him yet, Sammy is our Teen Mascot! He appears in every newsletter in a special comic drawn by Lorelei Hooker and lives on a table next to Misty's desk in the YA department. He is also the secretary of our Teen Advisory Board (T.A.B) and posts the minutes to the Teen Blog.

Point being, he and several of his snail friends have dressed up up as different artists and will be hiding in the children's library for this summer's scavenger hunt! Our incredibly talented Cheyenne helped them with their costumes, and I gotta say: I'm BLOWN away.

While you're looking for Sammy and his friends, please make sure to view all of the art that Sammy has somehow made his way into at the library (is this a Quantum Leap situation? a Blue's Clues situation? the world may never know). They are gorgeous! Check out The Snail with the Pearl (all Sammy Paintings courtesy of Cheyenne!)

The Snail with a Pearl Earring, inspired by The Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer

Don't you forget about me!

Jessica (and Sammy)
