HOW:
Be window shopping or just hanging out with your hat out of sight in the area of 2nd street between Jefferson and Madison.

Then at 4:00 pm, put on your yellow hat, sit down and begin reading your book.  If anyone asks what you’re doing,  tell them you and the Friends of the Library are Paying It Forward, and give them your book.  Then take off your hat, and blend in with the crowd.  The event will end at 4:15 and anyone who still has their book will give it to a passerby. 

Easy and fun!
