[Libs-Or] Money found in book

[Jane Corry]

Last December while weeding I found a couple chapter books with a$1 bill in
them with a note that said something to the effect of "It's your lucky day.
Here's a book buck. Keep reading." About 2 months later I found out that it
was an advent calendar thing that a 4th grader did. He put 5 of them in
books in our children's section. It was pretty exciting all around. Both
the finding and the finding out.
