The Great Library Gingerbread Hunt!

The Great Library Gingerbread Hunt!

We are excited to announce that The Great Library Gingerbread Hunt is returning for the fourth year in a row to Barrington Public Library from December 12-23!

How it works:

  • Starting Friday, December 12, we will post a clue to the daily gingerbread man's location at 8 am on our Facebook page. Clues will also be available at the Reference Desk.
  • The gingerbread man will ONLY be located on the first floor of the library.
  • The first person to find the gingerbread man each day and bring him to the Reference Desk will receive a special prize.
  • Only one prize per person. Once you find him once, you won't be able to win again. We want to allow other patrons to play!
  • If the gingerbread man is not found one day, he will remain in play the following day(s) until he is found. We will post on Facebook when he has been found.
  • There will be 12 total daily gingerbread men. The last gingerbread man will be hidden on Tuesday, December 23.
  • Open to all ages!

The hunt starts on Friday....are you ready??


Please note: Clues will only be posted to our Facebook page. We highly recommend that you follow our Facebook page to be the first to spot the clue at 8 am!
