Summer Reading Challenge Events for Teens

Grand Rapids Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt

Monday, May 31 – Saturday, September 4

The Division Avenue Arts Collective (DAAC) and GRPL have teamed up to bring you a city-wide scavenger hunt! Take a closer look at your neighborhood to find art in everyday life. Super sleuths may even find a few favorite Summer Reading Challenge characters from years past! Scavenger hunt participants will be entered automatically into a drawing to win prizes from local businesses.

Pick up your scavenger hunt document from any GRPL location, or download it here. Return your completed scavenger hunt to a GRPL location to get a super secret treat while supplies last.
