The tween/teen section of the library is pleased to host an Escape Room experience: Down the Rabbit Hole. Scheduled for March 4 and 6 from 4 to 5 p.m.
You are in the library browsing for your next read when you notice a small white rabbit following you everywhere you go. Where did it come from? You try to touch it, but it runs away. You follow it behind some bushes, but it hides in a small hole in the ground. As you look closer, you are absorbed down the rabbit hole, floating in a whimsical world where cards and teapots are levitating around you. You find a small tunnel, crawl inside, and find yourself at a tea party. Now, you must follow the clues to escape. Can you solve them or be stuck here forever?
Registration is required.
