Event Details

Decipher the secret message left by the library gnomes!

Over the holiday break, some mischievous gnomes snuck into the library and hid a secret message!  Find all the gnomes to discover why they love the library so much.  Turn in your scavenger hunt sheet for a chance to win a prize at the end of the month. 

To play, pick up a scavenger hunt sheet at the circulation desk and search the library to find each gnome listed on the sheet.  Check off the gnomes as you find them.  Once you have found all the gnomes, return your sheet to the circulation desk.  Be sure to include your name and a way for us to contact you if you are a winner.  One winner will be selected from each branch at the end of the month.
