Cowles Library Scavenger Hunt: Gotta Find ’Em All

Looking for an adventure on campus? From Aug. 25—Sept. 7, the Cowles Library Scavenger Hunt is your chance to explore hidden corners of the library, meet our team, and uncover resources you never knew existed.

How to play:

  • Find all six checkpoints throughout the library
  • Scan the QR codes to learn fun facts about each spot
  • Snap a selfie at each location (share with @CowlesLib on Instagram and #CatchCowles if you’d like!)
  • Show your selfies at the Information Desk to earn a unique sticker for each checkpoint
  • Collect all six and you’ll be entered into a drawing for a gift card to a local Dogtown bookshop!

Whether you’re brand new to campus or a library pro, this is your chance to explore, collect, and maybe even catch ’em all!
