Teen Reading & Fun
2024 Teen Scavenger Hunt
What better way to kick off your summer adventures this June and July than with a Scavenger Hunt! To participate, download a Clue Sheet (also available to pick up at the Main Library), solve the first clue, and then head off to search around Old Town Rock Hill for more clues. Once you have solved them all, enter your completed clue sheet in our raffle box to win a fun prize!
​
All ages may participate, but only a teen will win. No registration is required. Clues will only be found outside businesses in Old Town Rock Hill; buildings do not need to be entered to find clues. The Teen Scavenger Hunt is part of the 2024 Summer Learning Challenge, sponsored by the Friends of the York County Library.
