Stefani at Caught Read Handed has a library scavenger hunt going on. I didn’t get them all but here’s what I found at the main branch of our library.
- Your library
 |
| A view from the second floor |
 |
| I’ve never gone to a library with its own parking garage before. |
- Library Card
 |
| My poor dying library key tag! |
- Old School Card Catalog (we know that not all libraries have one of these, so take a picture of the catalog on a computer instead!)
 |
| This is a special sight! Usually the catalog computers aren’t working. There are only 1-2 on each floor. The fastest way to search the catalog is on your phone on the library website. |
- An audio book
 |
| Part of a row of audio books |
- A DVD
 |
| Somebody really liked Argo |
- Fun library furniture
 |
| The furniture is boring but the place is full of weird art. |
- A large print book
 |
| Ken Follet books are even heavier in large print. |
- Flyer for an upcoming event
 |
| One of the signs around the library. Not really upcoming though since I took this on April 18. |
- A fun display
 |
| This is a books about food display. Hey, those are aprons! I swear I thought they were boxer shorts until typing this caption and I was totally confused. |
- A book from the 800 non-fiction section (a book categorized in the 800s of the Dewey Decimal System)
 |
| Let’s not dwell on how impossible it is to find anything by number in this library since nonfiction is on 3 floors and not in numerical order. You can’t even ask because no one knows what floor anything is on. My major pet peeve about this library is this but I’m not dwelling. |
- Newspaper/Magazine
 |
| One of the walls of magazines on the first floor seen from the second floor |
- A graphic novel
- Find a book about libraries or with the word library in the title
 |
| Two-for-one! |
- Find a book with a girl in a dress on the cover
 |
- Find a book that’s green
 |
- Find a book with an author who has the same initials as you
 |
- Find a book with a number in the title
 |
| All kinds of numbers |
- Find a cookbook
 |
| Rows of cookbooks |
- Find a book with a picture of someplace you would like to visit
 |
| See the POP on the cover? That means that nonfiction book is housed in the fiction section which they call Pop Culture. Confusing! |
- Find a book with a one (1) word title
 |
- Find a book with a duck on the cover
 |
| From the Raising Poultry section |
Oh this is so fun, wish someone will host another such event 🙂
The scavenger hunt was a lot of fun!
[…] I’ve complained before about their insane organization system during my Library Scavenger Hunt post. […]
Love this idea! What fun!
That’s a beautiful library; mine is too, it’s only 4 years old. But we don’t have a parking garage!
[…] Library Scavenger Hunt […]
Other than the really horrible organization – travel guides in the fiction section?! – your library looks really wonderful! Hope you had fun with the hunt!
Your library is SO CLASSY. I’m very impressed haha. Loved your commentary. And it looks like you got a lot of them, so good work! I only got ten.
