have a bunch of books that are age appropriate to 12 year olds, let them wander around and read the first few pages of each, and go "I want to finish this one" and check it out from the library? I hope that's what this is, that sounds the most sane.

I thought they'd have foods that were related to certain books, like a book with a prominent apple in it, here have some apple. But that feels more like something for 5 year olds.

Hah I kinda like the idea of tasting random foods from books. Sounds ridiculous, but who knows, might be fun!

Heh. The world is a small place. I live very near here! I had no idea they were doing this! I’ll check it out.

I had no idea there were other bellinglemmings! (That doesn’t have the same ring to it)
