Escape Rooms, Early Literacy Classes & Storytimes, Teen Read Month!

Kids, Teens, & Families

Scott County Library Newsletter

October 2017

When we discovered escape rooms, we couldn't wait to try out the concept on our library kids & teens. We knew they'd love the challenge of working as a team to solve the mysteries. Our Lemoncello & Haunted Library escape rooms were huge hits this summer, so we freshened them up and are bringing them back for a couple special events in October.

And our Library Teen Advisory Board (TAB) was so excited about the escape room they decided to try hosting one for adults as a fundraiser - please help support the TAB in this new venture!

For teens, don't miss the library's special teen events celebrating Teen Read Month!
