February 1-March 31, 2026
Get to know other libraries in our area during the Library Lovers Expedition between February 1-March 31. Register at CAPL to start, and then begin your expedition! When you check in at each participating library you earn a brag tag. Find the clue at each library to solve the mystery of The Case of the Missing Manuscript (watch a fun video about it on Facebook and follow the official Facebook account of the Expedition for updates). If you solve it correctly, you’ll be entered into a raffle for a special prize basket. Registrants who check in at 12 of the 15 libraries will be entered into a drawing to win one of 15 gift baskets. Visit all 15 libraries, and you’ll have the chance to win the Grand Prize basket!
