It's Summer at Your Library, and the fun has just begun! In July and August, Washington County Library will be hiding books each week for our next community book scavenger hunt. This time, you'll have a chance to find bundles of books with titles for the whole family! Each bundle will include books for kids, teens, and adults.
How it works:
Each week, a themed book bundle will be hidden somewhere in Washington County. All bundles will be hidden outdoors. You will not need to enter any buildings or businesses to find them.
- On Tuesdays: We will share the first clue on social media and this page.
- On Thursdays: We will share a second clue if the book hasn't been found.
- If you find a book, let us know by tagging us on social media!
