SUMMARY:Find Waldo 2025
DESCRIPTION:Find Waldo 2025 starts July 1st at The Haunted Book Shop in Mobile! \nWhere’s Waldo? In Mobile\, of course! Celebrating its thirteenth anniversary in July 2025\, Find Waldo Local begins at The Haunted Book Shop July 1st and ends on July 31st.

With each miniature Waldo they spot\, searchers get their card stamped or signed by the participating shop. Eagle-eyed hunters can also look for Waldo’s special 2025 magnifying glass hidden inside The Haunted Book Shop! \nSeekers must turn in stamp cards to The Haunted Book Shop by July 31st. When you’ve collected at least ten different store stamps/signatures\, take them to The Haunted Book Shop to claim a Waldo sticker and a coupon for $1 off (limited to the first 125 Waldo-spotters). Those that collect store stamps or signatures at twenty or more businesses will earn entry into a grand-prize drawing for Waldo books and other prizes on August 2nd at 5pm. \nAll participants are welcome to attend the party on August 2nd and to celebrate the icon known simply as WALDO.

SUMMARY:Dana Williams to talk about "Toni at Random: The Iconic Writer’s Legendary Editorship"
DESCRIPTION:Toni Morrison will be well remembered and her spirit keenly felt on the evening of Thursday\, July 31 at 5:30pm at The NewSouth Bookstore.
