We like to find cool and interesting ways to keep students motivated to read, as well as refer back to time-honored classics. Scavenger hunts have always been popular, but have your students check out our updated version. Students can answer questions about their favorite books for a chance to win a $50 gift card to a favorite bookstore. 

Here’s how it works:

-Visit hclibrary.org/hunt for the list of selected titles and trivia questions. 

-Read any of the books. 

-Complete the questions for that book. 

-Submit your answers to any Howard County Library branch. 

Entries with at least eight correct answers will be submitted to the national contest for monthly drawings. This is a country-wide hunt, but you can come into your local Howard County Library branch to get the questions. The hunt is on starting Thursday, December 2!
