Spring Into Your Local Library

Each year, Zagbëgon collaborates with Dowagiac District Library and City of Dowagiac to offer an opportunity for families to participate in something fun in the area, as we recognize that not everyone has the luxury of vacationing during Spring Break.

Spring Into Your Local Library began in 2016 with a storytelling workshop and has since evolved into a scavenger hunt throughout the city of Dowagiac. We had 20 participants register to attend this year. On Monday, April 3, the rainy weather held out just long enough for families to enjoy the event.

Families were given a list of prompts and encouraged to get creative and take photos of themselves at various locations, such as "by a sign with the letter D," and they were provided the hashtag #SIYLL2023 for posting photos on social media.

WHO kNEW? Consignment joined in on the fun and hid a giant Look and Find eyes picture in their storefront window as a clue for participants to claim a prize. Participants received Look and Find books, I SPY Travel card game, binoculars, and cookies from Baker's Rhapsody. During the remainder of the week, families who missed registering for the event were invited to participate in another 'Seek and Find' challenge for more fun!
