Ripon Public Library is excited to offer Letterboxing throughout the month of May
Thanks to Ripon area Girl Scout troop 2119, Ripon Public Library is excited to offer Letterboxing throughout the month of May!
Letterboxing is a globally enjoyed game, constructed as a passport-like stamping scavenger hunt. To play locally, all ages are invited to visit the library to get started. In our version, gamers follow clues leading to envelopes hidden in the library. Each envelope contains a stamp and inkpad. Solve thirteen Girl-Scout-generated clues to stamp your passport thirteen times and win a prize!
For more information, call 920-748-6160, visit the library’s website, or follow Ripon Public Library on Facebook and Instagram for the latest library news and information on programs and resources.
