Explore the libraries of McHenry County and solve a mystery along the way! Gather a clue from each of the 15 participating libraries to help crack the case. Once you’ve visited all the libraries and collected every clue, submit your solution to be entered into a drawing for a special gift basket. Collect brag tags at each library and earn entries into additional prize drawings by visiting 12 or more libraries. Visit all 15 and you will also be eligible for the grand prize drawing!
