Situation:
The library has sat dormant and student-free all summer long. Shelves stand ready, books line up in quiet order, and displays hold stories waiting to be discovered. Your mission: move through the library’s sections and displays, uncover hidden numbers, and piece together a secret code. Once submitted, the library will share a special message with you.
Directions:
Look at the clues to the left of the Google Form. To find the code, you will need to locate the correct sections and/or books in the library (or even on the library website!) and find the numbers that are hidden there. Type the numbers (in order!) into the Google Form to unlock the secret message. Be sure to leave all of the clues where you found them. When you are finished, tell us the final message at the circulation desk in order to get your prize.
Finish early? Look for library books, while you wait for the rest of your class to finish up!
Be sure to keep the numbers in the correct order when you submit the final code!
