Meet Children’s and Teens’ Services Librarian Kirsty in the Children’s Library to get started and find out a few tips and tricks for navigating the Library, online databases, and more, then head into the stacks on a (silent) adventure. This event will be in-person. Masks are required. The scavenger hunt will last about one hour, and is a self-guided activity.
Advance registration is required for this event. Participation in teen events is free for Library members. If you are not yet a Library member, but would like to participate, please join the Library.
Questions about collections and programs for teens can be sent to the Library’s Children’s and Teens’ Services Manager, Celeste Rhoads: celeste@americanlibraryinparis.org.
