Scavenger Hunts

Scavenger hunts have been around for almost 100 years, but they are still fun!  IPDPL Scavenger Hunts are themed challenges that can be completed solo or as a group, and they are fun for all ages.  Scavenger hunts may be looking for things inside the library, or they may be searching the sights in your neighborhood or community.  Grab a scavenger hunt list and start looking today!
