Join us for a fun and festive scavenger hunt featuring tricks, treats, and surprises for the whole family. This event is planned to take place outdoors (so bring your rain boots and umbrellas if it looks cloudy!) and is intended for children and their caregivers.
We will meet in the Children’s Library to begin and teams will be created. Participants will have the option to work in small teams with other Library members or to work with their own families. When we meet initially, masks are required for all participants over age 11. Please note: this activity will take place out of doors, and all children must be accompanied by an adult chaperone! This is a great way to explore the neighborhood and make new friends while creating some fun new memories!
This event is free for Library members, however advance registration is required. Click HERE to register. Registration closes 24 hours before the event.
If regulations regarding group meetings change, we will accept participants in order of their registration (first come, first serve). We reserve the right to cancel or modify this event in accordance with changes to social distancing requirements.
