There are plenty of Easter preparations before the final spread as readers join the search to see what the Bunny has left behind.

Meet Corduroy Saturday at 11 a.m. Remember to bring your camera to capture a memory of your visit. Barnes & Noble is located at the Town Center Prado, 50 Barrett Pkwy, Suite 3000 Bldg. 3, Marietta. For more information, call 770-422-2261.
