How to Do the Quest
- 1
Check the library's current visitor guidance and choose a quiet time, remembering that this Quest is about observing spines, not rearranging shelves.
- 2
Find three public book titles in one section and write them down exactly as they appear without pulling books from a display that needs to stay tidy.
- 3
Arrange the titles on paper into a funny beginning, middle, and ending for a winter story.
- 4
Choose one real book to borrow or read in the library, using a staff member's help if you need age-appropriate recommendations.
- 5
Share the made-up story quietly, then return every book to its original place or use the library's designated return cart.
Quest Challenge
Can the group make a whole story while leaving the shelves just as welcoming for the next visitor?
