Get Fit while Helping the PWPL

For those of you who live in Port Washington, we have a great way for you to get some walking in during the month of April while helping the children's department of the Port Washington Public Library. During the entire month the children's department will be running a game entitled: The New Great Library Card Adventure.

Those who participated in the past will remember playing a scavenger hunt in the children’s room. However, the children’s room is currently undergoing a complete renovation and there isn’t enough space to safely play the scavenger hunt in its temporary home. We didn’t want to cancel the game because so many children look forward to it. The popularity of Pokémon Go gave us the idea of taking the game to the streets. Although not as complex as Pokémon Go, the New Great Library Card Adventure works with an electronic device and uses QR codes to give clues to various buildings along Main Street.

Here is an example of a QR code that links to a couple of introductory videos about the game:


How can I help, you may ask? Well, besides being great exercise and learning some history about the buildings that were chosen for the game we need you to help us check up on the QR codes and make sure none are missing from their assigned windows.

The adventure begins and ends at the children's room at the library, so stop by to say hello. And, if you don't live in our town try exploring your own town, or visit Port Washington to try out the game. We'd love to meet our readers!
