Hello! You're invited to participate in MI Library Quest. A newly-formed group of librarians from throughout the state has recently begun meeting to collaborate on virtual teen programming. Our first project is MI Library Quest. The MI Library Quest is a virtual summer program open to all teens in the state of Michigan designed to encourage them to explore libraries across the state of Michigan. Teens will locate codes on the websites of participating libraries, tell us what they found, and enter those codes in the Dragon Eradication Inventory (Google form). All entries with at least ## codes are eligible for a chance to win fun prizes. (The number of codes required will be a percentage of participating libraries and will be determined after we have a final list of libraries.) The premise of the Quest is helping King Thaddeus Brockwright the Third rid the kingdom of the dreaded bronze dragon. Codes on each library's website will include items needed to accomplish this challenge. More information on the quest story is in the links below. MI Library Quest details: * The Quest will take place from July 1 through July 30. * The deadline for libraries to sign up to participate is Wednesday, June 17. * Information about MI Library Quest is in this video<https://michigan-host.zoom.us/rec/share/681VMI_x0n1OGZ3c0mLAapwGAoXjX6a81nRKqKEEzk6Cn21vV4pNtn9ZwGJeL3-V> of the MiYouth meeting this week.
