Decker Finds Wants to Hear From You

Dear fans and friends of Decker Finds:

I am in the process of trying to structure a potential scavenger hunt in the library. I want to figure out basic logistics for it before proposing it to my supervisor, so I’m asking for feedback from you. A few questions:

Would you participate in a library scavenger hunt on a Saturday afternoon at the Decker Library?

Would you be interested in being on a team or competing individually?

For prizes, would you prefer symbols of your victory (prize ribbons) or practical gifts (gift certificate to the local hardware store and/or MICA art supply store)?
