Grab some friends and join us for a Scavenger Hunt through the city of Dover. Teams of 2 or more will be asked to find landmarks, take pictures in certain locations, and be tested on their knowledge of their home town. This is an all-ages event, but we will have prize winners in 3 categories: preschool to 5th grade, 6th grade to 12th grade, and adults. Fastest team in each category wins a $25 Cowlicks Dairy Bar gift card! Your team will register at the library any time after 10am but you must be back at the Library before we close at 8:30pm. I would suggest leaving at least 1 ½ hours to complete the course.
