Summer Learning

**The Adventure Hunt is up and available to complete until Sunday, August 23rd. After that, stop into any library by Saturday September 5th to claim your prize!**

6/27: At the Storywalk in Moretown the box can be seen, count out the signs to lucky 13. The sign you are after has a bird’s eye view, of the courts, playground and village center too.

7/11: Where route 100 and 17 meet, a recreation hub’s just down the street. The bear won’t bite, so just wave hello, and look for a string that’s the color yellow. Follow it to a “cheesy” sign, keep going as the path starts to climb. At the end of the rail and under the ramp, you’ll find a box, and inside it, a stamp!

7/18: Libraries are oh so essential, And this one, of three, is most central. Downstairs on a shelf You can see for yourself, A location that is confidential. Look at the labels along the spine, Until you see some with 567.9

We’ll have a limited selection of pizza toppings available. Families are also invited to bring their favorite pizza toppings, a great option for those of us dealing with too much garden produce. Gluten-free pizza crusts will also be available for those with sensitivities (not allergies as there will be cross contamination).

Special thanks to American Flatbread for supporting this event through a generous pizza dough donation!

Special thanks to Vermont Department of Libraries and the Mad River Libraries’ Friends organizations for providing funding for these summer learning events!
