TNT Events

 Our TNT (Teen & Tween) events for 6th - 12th graders for the next few weeks are:

Virtual: MiLibraryQuest - online scavenger hunt

Thursday, July 22 at 1:00 on Zoom

You'll work together to locate unusual animal descriptions on libraries' websites, identify the animals using an online Field Guide, and enter to win a prize!

Register here and we'll send you the Zoom link

If you prefer to complete the Quest on your own, you can participate independently at mi.gov/MiLibraryQuest. Or participate with the group and on your own.  The more animals you find and identify, the more entries you'll have in the prize drawing.  

Virtual: TNT Game Night

Thursday, July 29 at 6:30 on Zoom
and the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month.

We are partnering with other libraries in Michigan for Game Night. We meet on Zoom and play on Board Game Arena.  We are currently playing Solo (like UNO), Coup, Incan Gold, Fluxx, Sushi Go, Just Desserts, and Battle Sheep. We also add games based on the group's suggestions, so if you have an idea, let us know!

Please register here and we'll send you the Zoom link.  

In person:  Painted Cactus Gardens

Tuesday, August 10 at 1:00 in Wilson Park

You'll paint rocks to look like cacti and decorate a plant pot to "plant" them in! We'll meet in the new pavilion in Wilson Park.  

Registration is required (so we'll have the right number of supplies for everyone).  Please register here.

Additional Events

Additional events will be scheduled throughout the summer.  We'll announce them closer to the time of the events.  Check back or register here and we'll send you emails when new events are scheduled. 

We hope to see you for one or all of our events!

MiLibraryQuest

MiLibraryQuest is a state-wide virtual Quest for teens.  6th through 12th graders may participate.  It begins on June 1 and ends on June 31. 

You can participate and enter on your own.  We will also have an event this summer to meet and participate in the Quest together.  You can have up to 8 entries, so you can do some alone and some with a group from our library.  

To participate in MiLibraryQuest:

1. Go to the MiLibraryQuest website here.  

2. Use the links to participating libraries (beginning on June 1) to visit libraries' websites.

3. Find the MiLibraryQuest logo (image of koalas and a book) and the animal description near the logo.

4. Use the field guide on the MiLibraryQuest website to identify the animal being described.

5. Enter the animal name by the name of the library where you found it on the entry form.

6. Identify and record 20 animals and you'll be entered in our prize drawing.

You can find up to 160 animals for a total of 8 entries if you find them all!
