Attention, KPC Library Users! Ready to take a literary leap of faith? Stop by the Kenai River campus library and choose a mystery book based only on its first sentence. No peeking at the cover, title, or author!

If that opening line grabs you, check it out sight unseen! You might discover your next great read… or at least a book you never would have picked up otherwise.
