Did you know Children’s Book Week is May 2nd-7th? The Colgate Bookstore is proud to donate 13% of all children’s book sales from this week to the Hamilton Public Library! Also in celebration of Children’s Book Week, the Library, Bookstore, and Hamilton Center for the Arts are teaming up to offer a one-of-a-kind book scavenger hunt!
Calling all book lovers, treasure hunters, and puzzle solvers! To celebrate Children’s Book Week with us and enter the game, visit the Colgate Bookstore on Tuesday, May 3rd at 2pm and receive your scavenger hunt directions and supplies. Solve the puzzle hidden at the Bookstore, then move on to the next puzzle location – the Hamilton Center for the Arts. When that puzzle is solved, head over to the Hamilton Public Library to locate and solve the third puzzle. When all three puzzles are solved, come back to the Bookstore. The first five participants to correctly solve all three puzzles will win a $25 gift card and a signed copy of Book Scavenger by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman! All participants will receive other prizes.
