Children's Room

Join us for a new drop-in scavenger hunt. Play anytime at either location, and earn a prize for finding all 10 pictures!

Pictures have been hidden in the Children's Department. Your job is to find them! 

Head to the Children's desk and ask for a board (with a marker) to play. Mark off the pictures as you find them with your dry-erase marker. 

Once you finish, please head back to the desk and show the librarian. They will ask you to erase your marks for the next friend, and you will claim your prize. Happy hunting!

The scavenger hunt runs all month and is for all ages. Drop-in only. Please contact Annabelle at aho.ddm@minlib.net with any questions.
