Duck Hunt

To kick off duck hunting season the library will be having their very own duck hunt!

Starting Sept 30th, there will be many numbered ducks hidden throughout the library. When you find a duck, bring it to the librarians so we can check it off of our list and know how many ducks are still out there. Then you get to take your duck and a piece of candy home with you.

This will continue until there are no more ducks left and an announcement will be made on Facebook when all of them have been found.

ONLY 1 DUCK PER PERSON!

HAPPY HUNTING!
