Join Heather Leff from South Shore Quest and learn about this fun activity for the whole family. What is a Quest? Quests are clue directed walks through local public lands and parks that turn any outing into a treasure hunt. Children and adults of all ages will have fun looking for the clues and solving the riddles.
Many questers have their own personal stamp for marking completed quests. In this program we will create our own personal stamps and then (weather permitting) we'll go on a short quest around the library. Register online, in person or by calling 617-376-2411.
