MiLibraryQuest: Mystery Edition

6th - 12th grade

Saturday, February 6 at 3:30

An anonymous tip has come in that a thief will steal an iconic Michigan landmark on Valentine’s Day. Figure out who the thief is to prevent the heist and enter to win a reward.

You have two options - or a combination of the two!

1 - Meet with other teens through a Zoom event to discuss the mystery and solve it together.
Saturday, February 6 at 3:30 P.M.
Please register (bit.ly/MPL-TNT-events) and we'll send you the Zoom link.

2 - You can complete the Quest on your own. See the suspects and a link to the clues you'll need to solve the mystery online. Get started here: mi.gov/MiLibraryQuest . Figure out who the would-be thief is and enter it by February 14 for your chance to win a prize.

Everyone who participates will be entered to win a gift card from a local business or bookstore.

TNT Saturdays

TNT Saturdays are on hiatus for now.  Check the beginning of this page for virtual events happening while we are closed.

We'll do something different each month.  Making craft projects, Escape Room games, board games, other games, creating comics, and more are already on the list of possible activities.  You'll help decide what we do each month.  

Registration is NOT required, but it helps us plan for how many people will attend.  You can register here - or just drop in when you can come. 

Game Day

In-person game days are on hiatus for now.  We're looking into hosting virtual game events.  Check the beginning of this page for virtual events happening while we are closed.

Invite your friends and come by the library to play Wii games, board games, and card games.  Registration is not required.  Just drop in to play.

We also have some of our games available all the time in our teen area.  Stop by with a friend to play any time the library is open.
