Library Scavenger Hunt


 

This scavenger hunt is meant as a basic introduction to the library services.  First we got a tour of the library, so they would know where things were, and how to look things up on the computer, etc. Then they did the scavenger hunt in groups of 2-3 girls. You could also remind them to bring their library card, so they can check things out.
 

Please remember to work quietly and efficiently! (hee, hee)

1. Politely introduce yourself to one of the library staff members.  List his/her name:
