MiLibraryQuest

COVID-19 related library closures brought a new set of challenges to library professionals in 2020. During the summer of 2020, librarians from 16 Michigan libraries, with the help of the Library of Michigan, created a multi-library virtual scavenger hunt: MiLibraryQuest. Designed to engage teens in a virtual activity, and to encourage the exploration of participating libraries’ websites and services, this project soon grew to encompass more than 92 Michigan libraries by the time the Quest began. MiLibraryQuest has continued to grow during 2020 and 2021 into a seasonal multi-library collaboration.
