Mystery titles
by Oscoda County Library 02 Dec '20

02 Dec '20

Good evening: I am hoping the collective wisdom can help with some book suggestions. I have a patron who is looking for mystery titles/series for a 17 year old boy. She gathered his name from DHHS, and knows nothing about him. She is not sure if his family has any Internet access, so she does not want to purchase an Amazon gift card. Thank you in advance for all of your assistance. 'Amy -- Amy Knepp, Director Oscoda County Library 430 W. Eighth Street Mio, MI 48647 TEL: 989-826-3613 TAX: 989-826-5461 http://www.oscoda.lib.mi.us
