Nancy Drew is eternally young but the classic series of books featuring the teenage sleuth is celebrating 95 years in circulation — and the Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library is marking the literary milestone with a Mystery at the Library event from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 26.
“A prized possession has gone missing at the library and we need everyone’s help to solve the Mystery of the Golden Bookmark,” a library spokeswoman said in a press release.
It’s a free event, and activities will include:
- Follow the clues and complete the scavenger hunt to solve the Mystery of the Golden Bookmark.
- Decorate your own evidence journal and create a morse code bracelet.
- Jeopardy: Mystery Edition will begin at noon. For ages 16 and older. Compete as teams or individuals. Prizes will be awarded.
- Have your mugshot taken in our one-of-a-kind photo booth.
- Enjoy snacks Nancy Drew herself enjoyed eating while investigating cases, and special birthday cupcakes.
Tiffany Luna, the library’s executive director, said Mystery at the Library “offers something for everyone — from the library’s youngest to oldest patrons.”
The library is located at 1101 Bethel St. Hours are 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday-Friday and 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturdays.
