Treasure Hunt for the Treasure State

In celebration of National Library Week, Missoula Public Library will be a gateway to the scavenger hunt organized by the Montana State Library.

Starting on Sunday, April 11th you can visit this blog and read the questions for the day. You will then find the answers by using the electronic resources available online at the library's website http://missoulapublic library.org Answers will be submitted electronically by going to http://mymontanalibrary.org/treasure/ and filling out the online submission form.

There are 4 separate contest categories: Elementary School, Middle School, High School and Adult. Each category will be awarded 2 prizes with winners announced on April 30th. Statewide prizes include six Apple iPods, which will be presented to the winners in the middle school, high school and adult categories. Two pizza parties will be provided for the winning elementary school classrooms. The prizes for the contest are provided by Gale, part of Cengage Learning, the vendor that provides the electronic resources used for the Treasure Hunt for the Treasure State.

If you choose to play, be sure and stop by our Accounts desk and pick up a booklight. Just tell us you are working on the scavenger hunt and the booklight is yours!

Remember the first set of questions will be on this blog Sunday morning, April 11th. You can also see the questions at http://mymontanalibrary.org/treasure/

Have Fun!
