To celebrate National Library Week (April 11-17), all the Onondaga County Public Libraries have developed a community scavenger hunt. All you have to do is find the clues and solve the mystery! If you do that, you could win great prizes!
What is the mystery?... A literary character has disappeared from a well-known book located at one of our Onondaga County Public Libraries. So, in order to solve the mystery, you have to find out the following three things:
- WHO?... Which literary character has disappeared?
- WHAT?... From which well-known book did this character escape?
- WHERE?... Which Onondaga County Public Library was the scene of the disappearance?
The Community Quest will run from Monday, March 15th to Saturday, April 17th. During this time, participants should look for clues at library service points, such as the Circulation Desk and Reference Desk at any of the Onondaga County Public Libraries. Clues may also be found in library publications, such as newsletters, or on the libraries' websites.
Only one entry form per person and all entry forms must be submitted online or to one of the Onondaga County Public Libraries by 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 17th. Submissions with all three correct answers will be included in the prize drawing, which will take place on Wednesday, April 21st. Winners will be drawn at random and will be notified no later than Friday, April 23rd. Prizes include gifts and gift cards donated by Friends groups, Barnes & Noble, Wegmans, Regal Cinemas and more!
So, don't forget... Start looking for clues on Monday!
