Enter 2 Win: Scavenger Hunt @ BCCLS Libraries!

[Lisa Cohn]

 

As a way of celebrating BCCLS’ birthday, the Bloomfield Public Library is participating in a summer scavenger hunt for July1 through August 31.   Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to visit 10 (or more) of the 75 libraries participating in BCCLS and find the BCCLS 35 logo.

 

Begin at any one of the 75 BCCLS libraries.  Pick up your entry form in the library or online at www.bccls.org.  Find the BCCLS 35 logo in the library (a poster with a clue or hint will be posted as well).  Follow the clue to the 6”x6” token and follow directions to get your entry form stamped. 

 

Continue on to  visit 10 different BCCLS libraries, find the “35” in each library, receive a stamp on your entry form and be entered in the raffle.  There will be two winnders picked from eligible entries – one adult (18 and over) and one for those 17 and under.  The prize in each category will be an American Express Gift Card.  Collect stamps on the Scavenger Hunt from 35 different libraries and you will be entitled to 2 entries!

 

In 1979, libraries across Bergen County joined together to form a cooperative.  The cornerstone of BCCLS was then and is now resource s haring, enabling residents to use their hometown library cards in other BCCLS libraries – giving them acess to over 5,000,000 items.

 

BCCLS has grown.  There are now 75 member libraries with 79 locatiosn in Bergen, Essex, Hudson and Passaic Counties.  With over 650,000 cardholders and over 11 million items circulated annually, BCCLS has expanded in a big way.  Cardholders at BCCLS libraries can borrow books, movies, magazines, music, video games, and more.  They can access premium content databases, e-books, and downloadable audiobooks anywhere they are connected.  Library users of all ages can participate in a wide range of diverse library programming.  BCCLS libraries offer more than ever before!

 

 

Come have fun, explore new librareis and join us in saying “Happy Birthday” to BCCLS!
