This fall we kicked off our Spice and Mystery Clubs - and they're quite popular!

Our Mystery Club puts your detectives skills to the test with a new mystery each month. Pick up a case file, solve the clues, and submit your answer for a chance to win a prize. September's winners were Kerry and Annie Stevens, who successfully completed The Curse of the Pharaoh! 🕵️

Our Spice Club features a new spice every month, and comes with a kit of recipes, book recommendations, and interesting facts to inspire your next meal. September's spice was nutmeg, and Debbie Gehring used her nutmeg to spice up an Olive Oil Cake with orange and almonds. If only she'd made enough for the whole Library... 👨‍🍳

Keep an eye out for future Mystery and Spice Club kits coming up in the winter! A young girl focused on solving a puzzle from a mystery club booklet while sitting on a couch at home. by @glenpublib

If you picked up a GPL card in September, we have a few suggestions on how to use your card in October, November, December, and beyond. Whether you got your card in September or over 20 years ago, make the most of your GPL card all year long.

How do you use your GPL card? Library mascot Lehigh the fox holding a GPL card with text asking what to do next after getting a library card. by @glenpublib
