Bookstore Games.

Note: If you don't have the money to buy books at a regular bookstore, check Amazon, which has cheap used books. See if a used bookstore or a library has what you need. Or make a list and buy when you are able.

• Check every bay (individual bookcase) and try to find at least one book you've read. If you haven't read anything on a bay, chose, buy, and read a book from that bay. This is more fun with a friend.
• Pick a color. Seek 3+ interesting-looking books with covers or spines in that color. Share your discoveries with a friend and select one book to buy and read.
• Set up a scavenger hunt for a close friend. Hide literary clues or shared-memory-driven hints to the next book. Make the last destination interesting. 
• Write tiny, encouraging notes and hide them among the books. Customers or staff will eventually find them.
• Go with a friend and each choose books the other needs. These can be a combination of silly and sincere.
