Jeri Kosloske wanted to show the library staff her Nancy Drew-themed charm bracelet, and we were so impressed that we wanted to share it. Jeri and her friends are avid readers of the Nancy Drew mysteries, and also collectors of the books.
Jeri and her friend Joann Joram also created these charm bracelets by thinking of and collecting elements of the Nancy Drew stories and combining them with miniature book cover charms. Then they searched eBay for the charms.
Shown here are the two bracelets, and the books collected during many “fun” treks to flea markets and antique malls. Jeri even found a handbag made from the covers of a Nancy Drew book!
 Find it @ the library!
