Starting Sept. 1, you'll find something more than just books on our shelves. Go on an exciting scavenger hunt for 24 incredibly detailed art creations, crafted by Shop temporary staff Robin Renner.
The Book Nooks are hidden in the stacks and around the Central Library. To participate, pick up a checklist at any of the service desks at Central Library and start your hunt for the Book Nooks.
Pssst… Here’s a hint: The themed Book Nooks tend to match their area of the collection or library and can be found in the kids, young adult and adult areas.
Once you have found and checked off all 24, please stop at one of the service desks or The Shop to claim a prize.
Love one or more of the Book Nooks? Please snap a picture with your favorite(s) and tag us on Instagram @apl.theshop.
If you have any questions about the Book Nooks or the artist, Robin Renner, please stop by or contact The Shop at 703-228-7718 or lib-makers@arlingtonva.us.
